The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest about what we’re looking at for the next couple of weeks. There’s just no good surf to get excited about. The entire 16-day window is a bust. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing but poor surf conditions from Thursday, July 23rd all the way through to Friday, August 7th.
Let’s start with the only spot on the menu, Dania South Beach. It’s a beginner-friendly beach and reef setup, but it’s rarely breaking. It’s exposed to the east, and what we really need is swell from that direction, but it’s just not showing up.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday morning the 23rd kicks off with a risk of thunderstorms and a 2ft onshore wind swell from the east, but the period is a weak 4 seconds. The wind is a moderate breeze from the ENE at 12 mph, blowing onshore, turning the sea into a mess. The combined swell energy is a pathetic 20. It’s just not happening.
Friday the 24th is even smaller. Down to 1ft with a bit more period at 8 seconds, but still a gentle cross-onshore breeze at 9 mph from the ESE. It’s choppy and weak. This pattern just keeps repeating. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th offer nothing. The swell is tiny, the wind is either cross-onshore or cross, and the water will be a jumbled mess.
We get a few moments of clean conditions during the mornings, like Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th, with a light breeze and cross-offshore wind, but the swell is next to nothing – less than 1ft. It’s flat, clean, and completely unsurfable. The energy readings are in the single digits. You could paddle a SUP, but you won’t be catching a wave.
The first week of August is more of the same. The mornings of the 1st and 2nd look clean with gentle offshore winds, but the swell is still only 2ft to 2ft. The best wave energy we see across the whole period is a measly 34 on the 2nd of August, and that’s with a 3ft swell from the ESE at a 5-second period. It’s a weak, short-period wind swell that won’t offer any shape.
This is a classic blank run for this area. It’s a flat spell. The combined energy of the swells never even breaks into the triple digits, staying weak throughout. If you’re desperate to get wet, you’d be better off with a kite on a windy day, but for paddle surfing, there’s nothing worth your time.
Rusty.
