The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you. The outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a bummer. We're looking at Dania South Beach, a beach and reef setup that's inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch is a long, flat run.
From now through the end of the month, there's just nothing to get excited about. The swell is tiny, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what little bump there is. We're looking at a solid gap of over two weeks with no real surf on offer. The water temp is sitting at 87°F, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won't need a wetsuit for a float.
The first glimmer of anything comes on the morning of the 30th of July. The wind will swing light and cross-offshore from the SSW, cleaning things up nicely. But don't get your hopes up for the waves – we're talking about a tiny 0.2m of swell from the East, with a combined energy of just 10 – that's seriously weak. The period is a short 8 seconds, so you'll be bobbing around on barely-there lumps. It's clean, but it's a flat spell.
Honestly, with this persistent onshore flow and the tiny, weak swell, the conditions here at Dania South Beach are more suited for a kite than a surfboard for the entire forecast period. There are no standout days, no hidden gems. It's a tough run.
