The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. I've been staring at the charts for this stretch of coast, and it's a pretty quiet picture. The next 16 days are looking like a real flat spell, a tough stretch for anyone itching to get wet.
The first recommendation is for Dania South Beach, but it's a case of "poor surf conditions" all the way through. Right from Tuesday morning, July 21st, we're looking at tiny, weak swell. The combined energy is a measly 35, which is just not enough to get excited about. The water is a warm 86°F, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
The surf is a sorry mix of 3 feet from the southeast with a shockingly short period of just 4 seconds, and it's getting chopped up by a 12 mph cross-onshore wind. It's a real struggle out there.
We go through the week with similar conditions. Wednesday the 22nd, Thursday the 23rd, Friday the 24th, all the same story: tiny swell, short period, and messy wind. The combined energy barely cracks 30, and some days it's down in the teens. There's a brief moment on Sunday morning, July 26th, where the wind goes light and cross-offshore, making it clean, but the swell is a pathetic 1 foot. It's just not enough to ride.
The entire first week and into the second is a write-off. We see a bit of a bump on Wednesday morning, August 5th, with the swell pushing up to 3 feet from the east-southeast, a period of 5 seconds, and combined energy of 37. The wind is supposed to be glassy, which is a positive, but the swell is still too weak and short-period to offer any real quality. The rest of the month is a desert of flat, choppy conditions.
Honestly, this is a blank run. There's no standout, no hidden gem. The conditions are just not there for a proper session. The only thing I can say is that for this area, when the charts look this empty, a change is often not far off. But for now, leave the boards in the shed.
Rusty.
