Alright folks, Rusty here. Got a look at the local stretch, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s not looking like much of a summer. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead, so let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, from now until the end of the window, Dania South Beach is the only show in town according to the charts, but it’s a tough one to sell. The water’s sitting at a balmy 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s about the only highlight.
The whole 16-day outlook is basically a flat spell. We’re looking at a solid gap with no real surf on offer. For the first week and a half, all we get is tiny, weak dribbles. Swell energy is barely registering, with values often in the teens or low twenties. The waves are small, mostly knee-high at best, and the period is short and weak – we’re talking a measly 4 to 5 seconds. That’s just wind slop, not real swell.
The winds aren’t helping either. Most mornings do offer some glassy conditions, like on Friday the 17th, Saturday the 18th, and Sunday the 19th of July, with the sea looking like a mirror. But even then, we’re talking about waves of only 2 to 2 feet. It’s flat and clean. For a beginner who just wants to bob around and catch a tiny foam ball, maybe that’s something. But for anyone looking for a real ride? Forget it.
The swell direction is mostly out of the SSE or SE, which is far from the optimum ENE direction this spot likes to see. The energy is just too low and the consistency is rated as “inconsistent,” which is putting it kindly. Even later in the period, around Thursday the 23rd, when the energy climbs to a slightly less pathetic 43, it’s still only 3 feet of weak, short-period junk. It’s a beach and reef setup, so with these tiny onshore conditions, it’s honestly more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There is no standout window. The entire 16 days is a write-off for surf.
