The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a long, dry stretch ahead with nothing to get excited about.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. There’s no swell to speak of, and what little bump we get is mostly blown out by onshore or cross-shore winds. We’re looking at a solid 16 days of flat, poor conditions. This isn't unusual for the area; sometimes the ocean just takes a long nap. The combined wave energy is weak, reading between 5 and 60 (combined energy of all swells directed here) for the entire period, which tells you everything you need to know.
Forget about Dania South Beach – it’s a beach and reef setup, but with swell heights barely tickling 0.7ft to 3ft and periods under 8 seconds, there’s just nothing to ride. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, making a mess of the little bumps that do show up. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Saturday, August 1st, with glassy conditions, but even then, the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft from the east. It’s a total non-starter.
The only thing worth mentioning is that around August 5th and 6th, the swell bumps up to 3ft and 3ft from the east, but it’s all short-period, onshore wind slop with a combined energy of only 38 and 60. That’s not surf; that’s a messy, choppy lake. Honestly, if you’re desperate for a fix, the setup on those days might be more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle board.
Hang in there, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.
