The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you, it’s a rough look for Dania South Beach. We’re staring down a real dry spell with hardly any surf to speak of for the next two weeks. The first time we might even bother looking at the ocean is Monday, the 3rd of August, and even that is a long shot.
The whole first week is nothing but tiny, weak windswell. The combined energy is pitiful, stuck in the single digits and low teens (8 to 15) for most of it. Swell comes from the east, but it’s only 0.2 to 0.7 feet. The period is short at 8 seconds. Water temp is a balmy 87°F, about normal for this time of year.
We get a few moments of perfect glassy conditions, like Sunday afternoon, the 27th of July, with a calm 5 mph southwest breeze, but the swell is still just 0.7 feet. You’d be floating more than surfing. For several days after, the wind is offshore or cross-offshore, which would be killer if we had any waves. Wednesday morning, the 29th, has a clean 20 mph offshore wind from the west-southwest, but the swell is still a meager 0.7 feet.
Finally, on Monday, the 3rd of August, we get a bump to 4 feet from the southeast and the combined energy hits 60. That’s still weak, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The period is a short 5 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be messy. After that, it’s back to tiny, onshore slop for the rest of the 16 days.
Dania South Beach is a beach and reef setup, so it can fire, but this is a blank stretch. It’s inconsistent here normally, and right now there’s just nothing happening. The few days with any height have bad wind. For a beginner, the swell never tops 5 feet, so that’s fine, but there’s nothing to ride.
Honestly, with the onshore wind and tiny swell, this looks more like a kite surfing day than a paddle surfing day. Leave the board at home and wait for better.
Rusty.
