The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let's call it like it is – Dania South Beach is in a major flat spell. This beach and reef spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it's a total write-off.
We're looking at the full 16 days, from Sunday, August 23rd, all the way through to Monday, September 7th, and every single time slot is showing poor surf conditions. The biggest bump you'll see is a tiny 2ft swell, but it's coming from the wrong angle and the wind is always either cross-on or onshore, turning any ripple into a mess. The combined energy readings are pathetic, barely twitching into double digits, with the "best" day peaking at a weak 80 on the afternoon of the 4th – that's not even enough to get you wet.
Throughout the first week, a moderate breeze from the east or southeast is the main culprit, keeping the surface choppy. There's a flash of longer period (15 seconds) around the 1st and 2nd of September, but with wave heights stuck at barely 1ft, that energy means nothing here. That kind of groundswell really needs a point or a reef to wrap around, and Dania isn't that spot.
So, the bottom line is there are zero good options. Nothing stands out. It's a long stretch of flat, choppy water. Leave the board at home. The surf might turn around eventually, but this forecast is looking grim.
Keep it real,
Rusty
