The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real. I’ve looked at the charts for Dania South Beach, and honestly, I’m struggling to find much to get excited about. This is going to be a flat, quiet stretch for a long while.
The water here is sitting at 87°F which is about normal for this time of year, maybe a touch warm. But that’s about the only thing that’s normal.
We’re looking at a run of nearly two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. From Wednesday the 15th right through to at least the 28th of July, the swell is tiny. We’re talking knee-high rubbish at best. The combined wave energy barely gets into double figures most days – sitting around (22) at its peak on the 15th morning, and then dropping to single-digit numbers like (4), (6), (7) for days on end.
The swell direction is mostly from the NE or E, but with periods of 3 to 8 seconds, there’s no power or push behind it. It’s just wind chop and bump. The wind is a constant problem too – mostly cross-onshore from the SE, which keeps the surface messy. There’s a brief moment on Thursday morning the 16th with glassy conditions and light wind, but with a swell height of only 1 ft, it’s barely a ripple.
Even on the rare occasions the wind swings light or offshore, the swell is just too weak to form a wave. The best I can see is maybe a tiny clean knee-high wave on Friday morning the 17th (0.7 ft, light cross-offshore wind). You could take a foamie out and have a laugh, but it’s not surf.
The most energy we see across the whole 16 days is on the 29th afternoon with (30), but even then, the swell is 1 ft from the E at 8 seconds with a moderate cross-onshore breeze. It’s a hard pass.
There are no standout sessions. No groundswell. No proper waves. This is just a flat spell for Dania South Beach. Sometimes that’s how it goes around here – the forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off leaving the board at home.
