The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next few weeks at Dania South Beach.

Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window looks like a real flat spell for this stretch of sand and reef. There’s a big gap of nothing happening, and honestly, the first real chance to even talk about a wave comes way down the line.

For the first week and a half, from Wednesday the 22nd of July right through to the start of August, it’s a total write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and the period is short – we’re talking about 4 to 8 seconds, which is just wind slop. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The combined wave energy is weak, often in the teens and twenties. There’s a few mornings around the 31st of July and 1st of August where the wind goes cross-offshore and it’s clean, but there’s barely a ripple. You’d be lying on your board waiting for a puff of wind.

The combined wave energy peaks at a weak 29 on the 22nd, but that’s just a messy little windswell. It’s not surfable. The water temperature is around 86°F here, which is about 1°F warmer than average for this time of year – just a touch balmy, nothing crazy.

Now, the only flicker of life comes on Monday the 3rd of August. We’ve got a bit of a pulse from the south and south-southeast, pushing up to 2 ft to 2 ft. The period is still short, just 4 seconds, so it’s more of a bump than a proper groundswell. But the wind turns offshore from the west at 25 km/h, which is a major positive. It’ll be clean and glassy. The combined wave energy is still low, sitting at 14 to 17. This is the only time in the whole outlook where you might actually paddle out and catch a tiny, clean little wave. It’s not a standout in any real sense, but it’s the only option. Dania South Beach is a beginner-friendly spot, and this is about as beginner-friendly as it gets – small, clean, and offshore.

But honestly, for the rest of the time, you’re looking at a long, dry run. Crowds are only “sometimes” an issue here, but with this little surf, you won’t have to worry about anyone being out. If you’re a regular, you know this area can go quiet. This is one of those blank runs. Don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
