Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve looked over the local surf outlook for the next 16 days, and I gotta be honest, it’s a grim stretch for Dania South Beach. Not a single session worth paddling out for. The whole window is a write-off for surf.
First off, the water temp is sitting at 87°F on Wednesday morning, July 8 – that’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you’re just looking for a swim, it’s fine. But for waves? Nada.
The pattern starts on Wednesday July 8 with a poor little 2 ft SE swell, period a meager 4 seconds, and a cross-onshore breeze from the SE at 9 mph. Choppy, weak, and no energy – combined energy a low 22. By afternoon it’s even worse, same height but wind up to 12 mph, more chop. That’s the story for the next few days: Thursday July 9, Friday July 10, Saturday July 11 – all small 2–3 ft, short period 4–6 seconds, cross-on or onshore wind, and the combined energy never breaks 55. Poor surf across the board.
Sunday July 12 and Monday July 13 drop to a pathetic 0.7 ft, 8-second period – but that’s still no good with cross-on SE winds. Combined energy down to 12–14. Nothing. Tuesday July 14 bumps up to 2 ft but period drops to 4 seconds, again cross-on. The rest of the week through July 15 to 18 is the same story: 2–3 ft, short period, onshore or cross-on winds, combined energy between 23 and 59. Still poor.
Into the second week, July 19 (Sunday) through July 23 (Thursday) – no change. Tiny swell, 1–2 ft, periods 4–5 seconds, and the wind stays cross-on or onshore from the SE or ESE, with a bit of a risk of thunderstorms on the 19th. Combined energy never cracks 27. Just a flat, choppy mess.
This break is inconsistent anyway, and with no decent swell, no offshore wind, and the optimum swell direction from the east not matching the small SE/SSE pulses we’re getting, there’s nothing to recommend. Even beginners would be wasting their time – the water’s warm, but the waves are barely there. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’re into that, but for surfers? Stay home and wait for the next system.
Nothing on the horizon in this 16-day window. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a blank run. I’ll be back when things look better.
Rusty.
