The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Dania South Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – this stretch of the coast is looking pretty flat and lifeless for the entire 16-day window. We’re staring down a long, drawn-out period of tiny, weak waves. The first spot on the menu is Dania South Beach, a beach and reef setup that’s best for beginners, but even they’ll be hard-pressed to find anything worthwhile.
The outlook kicks off on Wednesday, July 22nd, with a meager 2 ft swell from the southeast, but it’s got no punch to it – a short period of 4 seconds and weak combined energy (17). To make matters worse, the wind is a cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph, chopping it up. It’s pretty much unridable. This same sad story repeats through Thursday and Friday, with the swell dropping to 1 ft and the energy staying weak (28). The wind shifts around, but it’s always onshore or cross-onshore, tearing up what little surface there is.
We finally get a bit of a break on Sunday, July 26th. The morning shows a clean surface with light cross-offshore winds from the southwest at just 3 mph, but the swell is only 1 ft with a period of 7 seconds and lifeless energy (15). You might be able to slide around on a longboard, but it’s not going to be exciting. Monday morning, July 27th, offers a similar clean window with offshore winds from the west-southwest at 6 mph, but the swell is even smaller at 0.7 ft with a period of 8 seconds and energy (8). It’s glassy, but there’s hardly a bump to ride.
The rest of the run into early August is more of the same – tiny 0.7 ft swells, short periods, and weak energy (8 or 9). The winds are a mixed bag, with a few clean windows on the 30th, 31st, and the morning of August 2nd, where we get a glassy calm with no wind. But again, the swell is just not there. It’s flat, flat, flat.
Look, there are no standouts here. The best you’ll get is a very small, clean window on a few mornings, but it’s barely surfable. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The breaks are generally inconsistent, so this blank run is a bit more normal for the area. It’s the kind of stretch where you’d be better off checking the forecasts again in a few days, because it tends not to stay this poor for long. For now, it’s a hard pass.
Stay patient.
