Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for the Florida surf scene. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell, and there’s really nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions with no real standouts on the horizon. The first few days are a write-off, and the pattern doesn’t improve.
The only spot on the map is Dania South Beach, a beach and reef setup that’s pretty inconsistent. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87°.
From Thursday 9th July right through to Friday 24th July, it’s a consistent story of weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is pathetic, barely cracking 30 (30) on the first day, and mostly hanging out in the teens and low twenties. That’s very weak wave energy. Swell heights are tiny, between 1ft and 3ft, with periods of just 4 to 8 seconds. It’s basically just bump.
The wind is a constant problem. It’s almost always a cross-onshore breeze from the ESE or SE, blowing at 9 to 16 mph, which keeps the surf choppy and messy. There is one brief moment on Thursday 16th July morning where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is still only 1ft with a period of 8 seconds – it’s a tiny, weak wave. Not worth the paddle.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For a surfer, it’s a blank run. This is pretty normal for the area when the swell is this absent. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t get your hopes up.
