The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s keep it real: this stretch at Dania South Beach is a total bummer. The whole 16 days are flat and messy, with no real standout sessions. The first usable surf shows up on Sunday the 19th of July, but it’s a grind.
The pattern is tiny, weak swell from the SSE and SE, with constant cross-onshore winds messing it up. The water temp is 87°F, about normal for the season.
From Sunday the 19th through Wednesday the 22nd, you’re looking at waves around 1ft to 3ft. The swell period is short, only 4 to 5 seconds, so it’s weak and lumpy. The energy is low. Winds are cross-on from the SSE and SE, making it choppy. This is strictly for beginners who just want to float around.
Then from Thursday the 23rd through the end of the month, it drops even more – 0.7ft to 1ft with a little more period from the east at 8 seconds, but the energy is barely there. Winds stay mostly cross-on or cross, with a couple of clean moments early on Monday the 27th and Saturday the 1st of August, but there’s zero swell to ride.
The second week into August is the same story. Small waves, poor conditions. The best you might see is a tiny 2ft to 3ft wave on the 2nd of August, but it’s still cross-shore and the energy is only 41. Not worth it.
For kite surfers, the constant cross-onshore wind and lumpy water might be fun, but for paddle surfing, this is a dead zone. This is a beach and reef setup that can handle swell, but it’s not getting any. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards in the garage.
Rusty.
