The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, mate. It’s a pretty grim outlook for the next 16 days. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing special. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t pop up until the 30th of July, and even then it’s a sad little pulse. For the most part, we’re stuck with poor surf conditions and barely a ripple.
Let’s start with Dania South Beach. This spot is a beach and reef setup, inconsistent, and it only gets a tiny bit of attention. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole first week is a write-off. From Monday the 27th right through to Thursday the 30th, the swell is basically flat at 0.7 ft from the east with a weak period of 8 seconds. The wind is mostly a cross-offshore, which is a nice touch, but there’s just no wave energy to work with. The combined energy is a measly 8 to 10, so it’s barely a ripple.
On Thursday afternoon the 30th, we get a slight change. A tiny south swell pushes in at 2 ft, but the period drops to a pathetic 4 seconds. The energy bumps up to a still-weak 21, and the wind is a moderate breeze from the southwest. It’s not something I’d paddle out for.
The rest of the run through to the middle of August is a sad story. The swell stays tiny, the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is always “poor surf conditions”. The combined energy rarely gets above 30, and the period is mostly under 5 seconds. It’s a washout.
There is a bit of a pulse on the 8th and 9th of August, with swell heights hitting 3 ft to 3 ft from the ESE, but the period is a short 4 seconds and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. The energy climbs to 37, but it’s messy and won’t be any fun.
To be blunt, there’s nothing here that stands out as a good session. No standout, no hidden gem. The best of a bad bunch is probably the later part of the first week, but it’s still not worth getting excited about. For this area, a blank run like this is normal enough. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
