Dania Pier Overview
This great sensor is made possible by southfloridakiteboarding.com ! Be sure to support them for providing this great resource to the kiting community!
The Dania Beach and Hollywood Beach launches are reserved for advanced riders who can stay upwind. No beginners, please. Respect any rules dictated by local riders.
Both launches offer very challenging ocean conditions with deep water, breaking waves and often crowded beaches. Dania Beach has a pier on the South side of the beach. Hollywood Beach (Meade St) is a narrow beach monitored by lifeguards. Hollywood Beach is closed to kiteboarders on weekends.
Both launches work best on North to East to South wind directions. Never kiteboard here in Westerly offshore winds.
Both beaches are within walking or biking distance of affordable accommodations provided by southfloridakiteboarding.com and the launches are 5 minutes drive to Ft. Lauderdale International Airport.

Sensor Notes
The weather station is located on a light pole atop of the Dania Beach Pier. It gets great readings in all directions but the most accurate readings are for the North to East to South West wind directions.
