The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this 16-day window for Dania South Beach is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf with no real standout days. The first solid recommendation doesn’t even appear until July 17th, and even then, it’s not exactly firing.
Right out of the gate, Friday morning the 17th we’ve got a tiny 0.7 ft swell from the NNE, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 7, so you’re looking at barely a ripple. Wind is cross-off from the SW, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power to work with. By Friday afternoon, it gets worse: a wind shift to SSE at 19 mph turns it cross-on and choppy, with a bigger but still pathetic 2 ft of windswell.
The whole stretch from July 17th right through to the end of the month is a washout. We’ve got day after day of poor surf conditions, with combined swell energy rarely breaking 30. The wind is almost always cross-on or cross-shore from the SSE or SE, keeping the surface lumpy and chopped. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so at least the bath is warm, but the waves are just not there.
There’s a slight bump in combined energy around July 28th and 29th, hitting 58 and 46 respectively, with swell heights creeping up to around 2.3 ft to 3 ft. But the period is still short (4-5 seconds), and the wind is onshore or cross-on, so it’s going to be a messy, white-capped mess. The break is a beach and reef setup, but with this constant cross-on wind, it’s honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Look, there are no true standouts here. For a beginner break that’s inconsistent even on good days, a 16-day blank run is not that unusual. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home for Dania South Beach.
