Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got coming up for Dania South Beach. Now, I’m gonna be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. This is a flat spell you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. The first proper surf recommendation doesn’t show up for a long while, and even then it’s a tough sell.
We’re starting off with a big, fat nothing. From Thursday, 2nd July, right through the following week, the surf is just non-existent. Tiny little bumps – we’re talking 0.7 ft to 3 ft at best – with short, weak periods around 4 to 7 seconds. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, often a moderate breeze, and combined wave energy sits in the dregs, rarely cracking 60. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 86°F, about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year, so at least it’s nice for a swim. But for surfing? It’s a write-off. This blank run stretches for over a week straight.
Eventually, we roll into Thursday, 16th July. Still poor. Swell ticks up a hair to 3 ft from the SE, but it’s onshore wind from the east and the period is still a weak 5 seconds. Energy finally cracks into double digits at 53, but that’s nothing to write home about.
It’s not until Friday, 17th July that we see *something* that could be called a wave. The morning brings a 4 ft E swell with a 6-second period. The combined energy jumps to 123 (moderate). That said, the wind is onshore at 12 to 16 mph from the east, cranking up lumpy, bumpy conditions. The afternoon is much the same story, with the swell holding at 4 ft E, the period still at 6 seconds, energy at 124, but still a moderate easterly onshore. It’s going to be messy and hard to enjoy.
Look, this is a beach and reef setup that’s usually inconsistent, and this run is proving it. With the swell finally showing a bit of life but the wind ruining the party, and the waves being short-period, it’s more of a blown-out mess than anything. If you’re a kiter, the afternoon on the 17th might look interesting with that onshore wind and 4 ft of chop. For a surfer? Leave the board at home. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a long, flat, barren stretch.
Rusty.

Information about the Dania South Beach Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Dania South Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Dania South Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
