The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Dania South Beach over the next 16 days is a tough one.
We're looking at a long, flat stretch for the most part. The combined swell energy hanging around 15 to 29 (weak) for the first week tells you everything you need to know. Water temp is sitting at 87.1°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's small comfort when there's no power in the water.
The first real sniff of any kind of action comes on the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. The swell picks up to a meager 1.3ft from the East, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy ticks up to 48 (weak), but it's still poor surf conditions. That afternoon, we see a bump to 3.6ft from the East, period a short 5 seconds, and the energy gets to 60 (still weak). The wind is onshore, so it’s going to be a messy, bumpy mess. Honestly, this isn't surfable for a good time.
Things get a little more interesting on Friday the 11th of September. The morning looks glassy as a lake with a light SSW breeze at 5 km/h. The swell is a tiny 1.3ft from the Northeast, period 10 seconds. The energy is only 31 (weak). This is a long-period groundswell for a beach break, so it’ll break straight and be a bit shifty. It’s not great, but the glassy conditions will make it look clean, so it's the best of a bad bunch. The crowds are 'sometimes' here, so you might have a few others scratching around.
The weekend of the 12th and 13th of September continues the same story. Tiny 1.0ft to 1.3ft swells from the Northeast, with light offshore or cross-off winds in the mornings. The energy stays weak (13 to 19). These are the only windows worth mentioning, and even then, it's a long paddle for a dribble. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off. There's a big gap of poor or no surf from the 29th of August all the way until the 11th of September.
Don't get your hopes up. This is a blank run for sure. The forecast can change, but for now, I'd find something else to do.
