The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for this stretch of coast is a bit of a bummer. We're looking at a long, quiet run with nothing to get excited about.
For the next 16 days, from July 21st right through to August 5th, Dania South Beach is the only break on the radar, and to be honest, it's a non-starter. The whole period is a write-off. We're talking about a solid 16-day gap with no real surf to recommend. The combined swell energy is almost non-existent, with most readings sitting below 30 (30), which is about as weak as it gets. The swell is tiny, rarely pushing past 3 ft, and what little there is comes from the east or southeast with a shockingly short period of 4 to 8 seconds – that's windswell mush, not real groundswell. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
On top of the lack of size, the wind is a mess. For the first week, it's mostly cross-onshore or onshore from the SSE, SE, or E, making it choppy and messy. Towards the end of July and into early August, the wind does clean up a bit, with some offshore and cross-offshore breezes from the SW and WSW, promising clean conditions. But even then, the swell is just too weak – we're talking 0.7 ft to 2 ft of flabby energy. The wave energy is so low that the combined figures are often single digits (9, 11, 8), which is basically flat. It's not beginner-friendly because there's nothing to surf, and the few weak, onshore days are just choppy.
Honestly, this setup is so pathetic for a paddle board that on the windier days with a bit of chop, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's just nothing here for us. The spot is inconsistent, and this blank run is a classic example of what happens when the swell windows close. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, don't bother waxing up.
Rusty.
