Alright, let me be straight with you – Dania South Beach is in a flat spell. The coming days are looking slim, real slim. This is one of those stretches where you'd be better off with a longboard or just kicking back. The finder file shows the whole 16-day window as "poor surf conditions," so I’m not going to sugarcoat it.
We're looking at a solid gap of weak surf. From the start on Saturday, 4 July, right through to Saturday, 19 July, there’s nothing that gets the heart pumping. Most mornings and afternoons trickle in with tiny, weak windswell – mostly around 0.7ft to 1ft. The swell periods are short, often in the 3 to 8 second range, and the energy is low. You’ll see numbers like 15 (weak) or 47 (still weak) in the combined energy of all swells directed here. That's not enough to push a decent wave.
There is a tiny blip on Friday, 10 July morning, where the swell bumps to 4ft from the SE with a period of 5 seconds. But the winds are onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, making it lumpy. Even then, the description is poor surf conditions. For beginners, that swell height is manageable, but the chop and short period will make it messy. No standout there.
Actually, the best moment in this whole forecast might be Sunday morning, 12 July. The swell is still only 1ft from the east, period 8 seconds – but it’s glassy. The wind is calm, ENE at 0 mph, and the energy is low (21). The water temperature is about average for the time of year. For a longboard or a learner, it’ll be clean enough for a few tiny bumps. That’s your best bet, and it’s still not saying much.
Then, on Saturday, 18 July morning, we get a slight bump: 2ft from the ESE with a period of 4 seconds (energy 31) and a light cross-onshore. By Sunday, 19 July, the wind shifts cross-offshore from the SW at 3 mph, which cleans it up, but the swell is only 1ft from the NNE, period 7 seconds. It’s a tease.
This spot, Dania South Beach (United States), is a beach and reef setup that’s fairly exposed to east swells. The optimum swell direction is from the east, and sometimes the crowds show up. But with these sizes, there’s barely anything to ride. It’s inconsistent, and this run of poor surf is more normal for the area during this quiet season.
If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger breeze on those afternoons with 12 mph cross-onshore might give you something, but for paddling, don’t bother.
For now, hang tight. The long-range outlook is too far out to trust, but it’s rare for it to stay this flat for too long. Forecasts change.
