The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell for Dania South Beach. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and choppy conditions that just won't give us much to work with. The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°, which is about average for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's normal.
The whole first week and a half is a write-off. From Friday the 17th right through to the end of July, we've got a persistent run of cross-onshore winds messing up every session. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and coming from the SSE or SE with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The wave energy is low, making for poor surf conditions. Don't be fooled by a couple of days where the swell bumps up to 2 ft or 3 ft; the wind is still onshore, so it's just going to be lumpy and messy.
There's a slight glimmer of hope on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning starts with a light offshore wind from the SW, which is a big deal. It’ll clean up the surf perfectly. The swell is still small, about 2 ft from the SE, but the energy is weak. The issue is the break is inconsistent, so you'll be waiting for those rare clean sets. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but the crowds are a possibility here, so don't expect to have it all to yourself.
The afternoon of the 1st sees the wind swing back to a cross-shore, so that window of clean surf is short. After that, it's back to weak, choppy conditions.
There are no standouts in this forecast. The only real mention is that Saturday morning, 1st of August, where the clean conditions make it the best on offer, even if the waves are small and inconsistent. You'll be scratching for one, but it might be better than nothing.
Rusty.
