The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch from July 20th all the way through to August 4th is a tough one for surfers around here. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and there's just no energy to get excited about. We're looking at a solid two-week gap with next to nothing on offer. The combined energy of all swells directed here is barely registering, with values like 37 and 55 (weak energy), and it just doesn't get any better as we go. The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it will be a nice swim.
For Dania South Beach (beach and reef), it's a beginner-friendly spot, but it's also inconsistent. The swell is coming from the SSE and SE, but it's tiny – 3 ft at best on Monday the 20th, with a short, weak period of 5 seconds. The wind is cross or cross-on, making it choppy and lumpy. There's nothing here for a paddle surfer. Honestly, with the poor surf quality and the moderate breeze, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The rest of the period is more of the same. Tuesday the 21st through to the end of July shows swell dropping to 3 ft and then down to 0.7 ft, with periods as low as 3 or 4 seconds. The wind shifts around but stays predominantly cross-on or onshore. There's a brief moment on the morning of Thursday, July 30th where it's glassy, but the swell is only 1 ft with an 8-second period. It's clean, but there's nothing to ride. The combined energy is a weak 28.
As we roll into the first week of August, it's the same story. Swell is 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on. The combined energy values are all in the low teens and twenties. This is a blank run, and for an area like this, it's not unusual to see a long stretch of flat, blown-out conditions. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's not a single stand-out day. Don't hold your breath.
