The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight to it. I’ve looked over the next 16 days for this stretch of coast and I’ve got to be honest with you... it’s looking grim. We’ve got a long, flat spell coming up.
Right now, through the end of July and well into the first week of August, there's barely a ripple to get excited about. The only break we’ve got on the cards is Dania South Beach, and it's not looking good. This spot is a beach and reef setup that is inconsistent at the best of times, and this run is a classic example of that.
For days, we're looking at tiny, weak waves. Swell heights barely crack 1 ft with periods around 8 seconds, meaning the energy is just not there – we’re talking combined swell energy in the teens (13) at best. The water temp is sitting at a warm 87°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when you're bobbing around on a flat day. The winds are mostly cross-off or cross, which would be fine if there was any swell to work with.
Now, late on the 30th of July, there’s a tiny pulse of south swell, 2 ft at a super short 3 seconds (18 energy), but it’s messy and weak – not worth the drive.
We then hit a stretch from the 31st of July into the second week of August where the wave energy picks up a very small amount, but the winds turn cross-on, onshore, or just plain awful. The swell direction flips around, but the heights stay below 3 ft with terrible periods. The morning of the 31st of July looks glassy with no wind, but with a 0.3 ft east-northeast swell at 10 seconds (7 energy), it’s barely a paddle.
The biggest waves we see are on the 3rd and 6th of August, with a couple of pulses hitting 3 ft to 3 ft from the southeast or east, but the period is a shocking 4 to 5 seconds. With the wind blowing moderate cross-onshore (12-15 mph), that’s going to be messy, choppy, and unrideable. Combined energy gets into the 40s and 50s, which is still weak.
The truth is, Dania South Beach is inconsistent and rarely breaks with any quality, and this forecast confirms it. For the entire 16-day window starting now, there are no standout sessions. None. It’s a total blank run.
Given the combination of tiny swell, poor quality, and onshore winds at a beach setup, this coast looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing over the next couple of weeks than for paddle surfing. Keep your wetsuit dry, lads. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
