Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be real – the next 16 days are gonna be a struggle for surf around here. No standout sessions popped up in the finder, and the guidance backs that up: this spot goes flat when the swell’s not around.
First week? Tiny. We’re talkin’ waves from 0.7 ft to 2 ft, mostly out of the east and southeast. Wind is cross or cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. Swell energy is low – between 4 and 46 – that’s real weak. For a beginner-friendly beach and reef like Dania South Beach, it’s basically a paddling pool. The water’s warm at 86°F, about 2°F above normal for July, so at least it’s nice for a float.
That flat spell runs from July 4th all the way to July 15th. Nothin’ worth paddlin’ for.
Things perk up a bit around July 16th and 17th. On Friday July 17th, we see a pulse of east swell hitting about 5 ft to 5 ft. The combined energy jumps to 161 in the morning and 192 in the afternoon – that’s moderate energy, finally some push. But the period is only about 6 seconds, so it’s short-period wind swell, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. It’s still listed as poor conditions.
By Saturday July 18th, the swell drops back to 4 ft to 4 ft, with onshore winds and energy fading to 83 then 64. After that, it’s back to small and weak.
So yeah, no real winner here. If you’re desperate, Friday July 17th has the most size, but it won’t be pretty. For paddle surfing, it’s a tough run. The kites might have more fun on the windy afternoons. Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change. Rusty.
