Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. I’ve been staring at the charts and there’s just nothing to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and rubbish wind. Honestly, it’s a write-off from the start.
We’re looking at Dania South Beach (Florida) and the water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s nice for a swim, but doesn’t help the waves.
The whole run kicks off Sunday, July 5th, with a tiny 0.7ft easterly swell. The combined energy is a measly (8), which is barely a ripple. The wind is a light cross-shore, but the surf is just too poor to bother. This trend continues solidly through the whole first week and into the next. We see a bit of a bump on Thursday, July 9th, with swell hitting 3ft, but the energy is still only moderate (40) and it’s coming with a moderate cross-onshore wind, making it choppy and messy. Not a single session in the whole 16 days gets a score above zero.
The consistency is totally shot. This spot is known for being inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. There’s just no window of clean, rideable surf. The swell is barely there, and when it does show a pulse, the wind is on it, ruining any chance of a decent shape. The best you could hope for is a tiny, gutless wave with a lot of chop.
We do see a slight lift in the second week, around July 16th and 18th, with swell just touching 3ft. But the period is short (4-5 seconds), so it’s just weak, disorganised windswell. The energy is moderate at best, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. Nothing here is worth paddling out for.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a splash, maybe bring a bodyboard. For a surfboard, this is a total blank. The setup is a beach and reef, but with this wind and tiny swell, it would be more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session. Save your energy and wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.
