The Lowdown
Listen up, it's Rusty. And I gotta say, looking at the next couple of weeks, there's just nothing to get excited about. The surf is going to be a ghost town.
Starting Wednesday, July 22nd, through Saturday, July 25th, Dania South Beach is seeing tiny waves, barely 2 feet. The swell is short-period, around 4 seconds, from the SE and E. It's choppy and bumpy from onshore winds, not clean at all. The water is a warm 86°, which is normal for this time of year. The wave energy is super weak, barely registering. This is for a beginner on a foam board at best.
From Sunday, July 26th, it goes completely flat. We're talking ankle-snappers of about 0.6 feet, with a 8-second period. The energy numbers are tiny, between 8 and 14. We get a few clean windows on mornings with light winds – like Sunday the 26th, Monday the 27th, Tuesday the 28th, and Friday the 31st – but with no swell to work with, it's just a mirror. The water temp is still about average.
Thursday, July 30th morning is glassy, but the waves are still just 0.6 feet. A brief bump in the afternoon to about 2 feet, but it's a messy, 3-second windswell from the ESE with onshore wind ruining it. Total energy is only 19.
Then the first week of August, from the 1st to the 6th, is a total flat spell. Waves stay under 0.6 feet, energy drops to nearly zero, between 2 and 12. We get clean mornings on the 1st and 2nd, but there's nothing to ride. By the 5th and 6th, the wind is right onshore, just making the flat water even uglier.
There's not a single good option here. This is a dead period, more suited for swimming or a kayak than surfing. Keep an eye on things, but right now, there's no reason to wax your board.
Rusty.

Information about the Dania South Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Dania South Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dania South Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dania South Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Dania South Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
