The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let me tell you straight: the surf outlook for Dania South Beach over the next 16 days is a total bummer. Honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. From Saturday the 25th of July all the way through to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s a dead run. That’s a solid two-week gap with no real surf on offer.

First up, Saturday the 25th sees a tiny 1ft easterly swell with a short, weak 8-second period. The combined wave energy is a feeble 17, so there’s just no power. Add in a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-shore breeze, and you’ve got poor, choppy conditions. Not worth the wax.

Sunday and Monday the 26th and 27th stay flat and small at around 0.7ft to 1ft, with that same short period. Winds do go light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s simply no wave to ride. The combined energy on Monday morning drops to a pathetic 8. It’s just a glassy lake out there.

The middle of the week, from Tuesday the 28th through Thursday the 30th, is more of the same: tiny 0.7ft easterly slop, 8-second period, and energy readings between 7 and 10. Thursday afternoon does see an offshore wind, but with a swell height of just 0.7ft, it’s a non-event.

The end of July and start of August bring a few little bumps – a 2ft southerly swell on Friday the 31st afternoon, and a 3ft southeast swell on Sunday the 2nd of August morning – but the period is a dismal 3 to 4 seconds. The combined energy stays under 40. That’s weak, wind-swell junk, and the winds turn cross-shore or even onshore, so it’s messy.

The second week, from the 3rd to the 9th of August, is a write-off. The swell never gets above 3ft, periods are short, and the wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore, making things choppy. The combined energy peaks at just 48 on Sunday the 9th, but with a 4-second period and onshore wind, it’s useless for surfing. The water temperature is 86°F, which is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only bright spot.

Because Dania South Beach is a beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. If you’ve got a kite, the stronger onshore breezes in the second week might look a little more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, there’s nothing. Keep an eye on the forecast, though – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

Rusty.
