What's up guys it's surfun' Steve here, Dania Beach local and Dania Pier surf enthusiast!
Just wanna let you all know Dania Pier is now streaming a 24 hour broadcast webcam that does a 360 degree view of the beach, letting you know if the waves are good or if you should hit another spot! Our sandbar is currently building up waist to chest high waves, with a big swell pushing through this Friday and Saturday. Last time we had a big swell (the noreaster for easter) we saw 6-8 foot swells with offshore to sandbar breaks and steady rides with chances for a tube ride. On days with waist high sandbar breaks, you can get a good (but short) ride on a longboard or paddleboard. The beach is still pretty empty on weekdays, but the crowds are big on the weekend so get there early or risk losing a parking space. Meters went up to 2$ an hour, getting locals together to try to get that down since it used to be 1.25$ an hour. Note that the Quaterdeck on the pier is very popular and the crowd it draws is mostly tourists, but this can be fun as it gives you an audience on those good days. Hope this thread gives a little more credit to Dania Pier surf, and hope to see you all out there shredding it up Friday and Saturday!!
