Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Dania South Beach. I gotta level with you – this stretch of coast is lookin’ proper quiet for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and choppy conditions comin’ up, with nothin’ that really gets you stoked. Hold tight, because it’s gonna be a flat run.
We start off on Wednesday, July 8th, and from the get-go it’s a struggle. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ at 87°, but that’s about the only highlight. The swell is tiny, only about 2ft from the southeast, and it’s got a short, crumbly period of just 4 seconds. With a cross-onshore breeze at 9 mph, you’ve got a recipe for poor surf. The combined wave energy is weak at 23. It’s the same story through Thursday and Friday – little bumps of 2ft to 3ft from the south or southeast, but the wind stays messy, and that energy stays well under 100. Honestly, for a beginner beach-and-reef setup that’s already inconsistent, this is tough to even call a session.
The weekend rolls in, July 11th and 12th, and it doesn’t get any better. We’re still lookin’ at tiny 0.6ft to 3ft dribbles, with cross-onshore winds keepin’ things choppy. The waves are just too weak to push you around. This flat spell stretches all the way through the middle of the month. From July 13th right up to the 20th, day after day we’re seeing swell heights barely cracking 2ft, with the swell period stuck at a short 4 to 8 seconds, and the combined energy never breaking out of the double digits. Even when the wind goes light on the morning of July 18th and 19th, there’s just not enough swell to make it worthwhile.
There is a little flicker of hope on July 21st – Tuesday morning. The wind swings to a cross-offshore from the southwest at 12 mph, and the wave state actually reads “clean.” The swell is only 1ft though, with an 8-second period, so while conditions might be pretty to look at, there’s barely any water moving. The energy is still weak at 14. It’s not enough to paddle for. As we roll into the 22nd and 23rd, it’s back to the same old story: tiny swell, onshore wind, and poor surf.
So what’s the standout? Honestly, there isn’t one. This whole 16-day period is a write-off for paddle surfing at Dania South Beach. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it just isn’t doin’ anything. With that much weak, short-period swell and persistent cross-onshore winds, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than for us wave-chasers. But you know how it goes – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long. Keep your eyes peeled, but for now, I’d say save the wax.
Rusty.
