Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dania South Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're looking at the next sixteen days for Dania South Beach, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: the surf is flat as a pancake for the entire run. I'm talking a real lean spell, a proper drought.
From now, right through to the 27th of July, there's just no swell to speak of. The water is sitting at 87° – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – but you won't be needing your wetsuit for the waves, because there aren't any. We're looking at combined wave energy readings that are almost all in the single digits and low tens (29, 15, 16), nothing that even sniffs at moderate. The biggest swell you'll see is a tiny 3 ft from the SSE on the afternoon of Saturday the 18th, but that's a short-period, weak windswell that's gonna be blown out by a 16 mph cross-onshore wind. Total mess.
Don't get your hopes up for the glassy morning on Friday the 17th either – that NW breeze at 3 mph is a beaut, but with a swell of just 0.3 ft, the ocean is a lake. It's the same story on the 18th and 19th mornings; clean conditions, but absolutely nothing to ride.
Basically, don't even bother packing your board. If you're into kitesurfing, the consistent onshore winds and choppy water on the 23rd and 24th might look interesting, but for us paddle surfers, it's a write-off. Dania South Beach is inconsistent at the best of times, and sadly, this is one of those blank runs that's just normal for the area. Sometimes it's like this, but forecasts can always change. For now, find something else to do.
Rusty.
