The Lowdown
Hey there, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring for a surf. We've got a long stretch ahead with hardly anything to get excited about. The first real bump in the energy doesn't show up until early August, and even then, it's not exactly a standout.
Dania South Beach is the only game in town, and honestly, it's not much of a game. This is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the east, but for the next week and a half, we're looking at tiny, weak swell. Wednesday morning (July 29th) we've got a mere 0.7 ft from the east, with a weak combined swell energy of only 9. Water temp is a warm 87°F, about average for this time of yearē. The wind is a moderate breeze from the SW, which is cross-offshore, so it'll keep things clean, but there's just no wave to ride.
That theme continues day after day. Thursday the 30th, Friday the 31st, Saturday the 1st of August – all mornings offer glassy or light breezes, but with swell barely a ripple at 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft. The combined energy never cracks the 20 mark. It's the kind of flat spell where you're better off cleaning your board or just enjoying the beach.
Finally, around the morning of Friday the 7th of August, we see a bit of a pulse. Swell height bumps up to 3 ft from the NE, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 273 (that's three-digit energy, finally). The wind is a moderate breeze from the ENE, which is cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit choppy. This is the most interesting we get in the whole forecast. The wave comment still says "poor surf conditions" though, so don't expect magic. For a beginner, 3 ft is manageable, but the cross-onshore wind will make it a bit messy.
The pattern after that stays weak and onshore for the rest of the second week. Mornings on the 10th of August offer 4 ft from the SE, but with that swell period at only 5 seconds (short-period wind swell) and a moderate cross-onshore breeze, it'll be a lumpy, choppy affair. The combined energy stays below 100 through most of those days.
For a standout, there really isn't one here. The best on offer is Friday, August 7th, and Saturday, August 8th, where we at least see some moderate energy (273 and 123) and a bit of size (3 ft). But don't plan your day around it; this is a spot that's inconsistent and rarely offers anything clean. This blank run is pretty normal for the area this time of yearē. Keep your expectations low and your eyes on the horizon – forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
