The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. I’m looking at the next 16 days, and I’ve got to be honest – it’s a tough watch. The whole stretch from now until the 4th of August is basically flat. The combined energy of all swells directed here (36) is weak, and the wave heights are tiny. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the waves are just too small and sloppy.
The water temperature is 86°, which is about 1° warmer than average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first spot on the list is Dania South Beach. It’s a beach and reef setup, decent for beginners, but it’s inconsistent and you can expect a crowd sometimes. The best direction is east, but we don’t get any real push from that direction.
The best window is the morning of the 4th of August. The swell is from the east at 0.6ft, period of 8 seconds, combined energy of all swells (8), with a light cross-off wind from the north-west. It’s clean, but it’s tiny. For a total beginner on a soft top, it’s worth a splash. For anyone else, it’s a flat day.
That’s it. The whole 16-day window is a dud. It’s a flat spell that’s pretty normal for the area. The only small hope is the 4th of August morning, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
