The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next 16 days.
Honestly, I’m looking at the whole stretch and it’s a flat spell. There’s nothing to get excited about, no real standouts to chase. The first few days are quiet, and the pattern just doesn’t change. It’s a long gap of poor surf, day after day.
We’re starting at Dania South Beach on Wednesday, 15 July. The water temp is sitting at 87°F which is about what you’d expect for this time of year. The swell is tiny, only 1ft pushing from the NE with a short period of 8 seconds. Combined energy is weak (22). The wind is a cross-on from the ESE at 9 mph, leaving it bumpy and messy. Not worth the paddle.
Thursday 16 July morning looks glassy, with a light N wind at 3 mph, but the swell is just 1ft and short period. There’s barely any energy (13). It’s clean but flat. Afternoon gets choppy again.
The rest of the month stays the same pattern. Swell heights rarely break 2ft, periods are short, and the wind is mostly cross-on or cross-shore from the SE or SSE. Energy readings stay in the low double digits, often below 30. Friday 17 July afternoon has a burst of 3ft from the SSE, but with a period of only 4 seconds and a fresh cross-on breeze at 19 mph, it’s lumpy and poor. Looks more like a kite session than a surf.
The only slight glimmer comes on the morning of 28 July, with a clean, cross-off wind from the SW at 3 mph and 2ft swell. But the period is still short (4 seconds), and the energy is only 19. It’s clean but small. The morning of 30 July is also clean with a light offshore from the W, but again, the swell is only 0.7ft. No power.
So, bottom line: there’s no surf worth chasing in this 16-day window. The forecast might change, but right now, it’s a blank run. Keep the board in the car and check back later.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Dania South Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
