Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you: it's a pretty grim stretch for waves around here. I've looked over the whole 16-day window for Dania South Beach, and honestly, there's not a single day that's worth paddling out for. We've got a solid 16 days of flat, messy, and mostly onshore conditions staring us in the face.

The water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it feels nice, but that's where the good news ends.

Starting from the very first record on Saturday the 4th of July, it's a bust. Tiny 1.0ft waves from the NE with a short 6-second period and a combined energy of just (16). The wind is a cross-shore breeze, but the forecast calls for "poor surf conditions" and that sums it up. That theme just keeps going all through the first week and into the second. Every morning and afternoon slot, from the 4th all the way through the 19th of July, is the same story: wave heights barely cracking 3ft, usually from the SE or E with short periods (3 to 8 seconds), and cross-onshore winds just chopping everything up. The combined swell energy never gets out of the weak range, topping out at (41).

Honestly, with this much significant onshore wind and barely any swell, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a paddle. The beach and reef setup here just isn't doing anything for us.

There are zero standouts. Not one. It's a complete blank run, and for this area, that's not as uncommon as we'd like. Forecasts can change, but right now, the only thing we're surfing is the feeling of disappointment.

Rusty.

Information about the Dania South Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Dania South Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dania South Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dania South Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Dania South Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
