The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Dania South Beach are a bummer for surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and onshore junk, so don’t get your hopes up.
The water temperature is sitting at 87°, which is about 2° warmer than what we’d normally expect for this time of year at Dania South Beach. Not a freak anomaly, but a touch on the warm side.
The whole outlook kicks off on Tuesday with a tiny 1ft easterly swell coming in at 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is a measly 14 – that’s nothing. The wind is glassy in the morning, but the swell is just too small to do anything. Wednesday through Friday sees a bit more chop, but the swell stays under 3ft with periods under 10 seconds, and the wind is either cross-onshore or onshore. The energy readings hover between 24 and 44, which is weak. There’s a risk of thunderstorms on most of these days, too.
Saturday, the 5th of September, still has tiny 1ft swell from the southeast with a 4-second period, and the energy drops to 6. No good. Sunday the 6th is glassy in the morning, but the swell is only 0.7ft with an 8-second period and an energy reading of 4. You’ll be floating more than surfing.
The second week doesn’t give us any hope. From Monday the 7th all the way through to Wednesday the 16th of September, the swell never gets above 3ft, and the period is mostly short, under 9 seconds. The wind is almost always cross-onshore, onshore, or cross-offshore only once on the 16th. The combined energy values are all in the teens and twenties, with a couple of spurts into the low thirties – still weak. The break is inconsistent anyway, and with these tiny waves, it’s a total write-off.
There’s no standout session here. The best you could hope for is a glassy morning on the 6th with that 0.7ft swell, but it’s a long shot. If you’re desperate, you might get a knee-high bump on the 14th with 3ft from the southeast, but it’s a short-period, choppy mess. Honestly, this stretch is more suited to a paddleboard or a day at the beach than a surfboard. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Keep your eyes on the forecast, but for now, enjoy the sun.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Dania South Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
