The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you — this stretch of the Florida coast is lookin’ pretty flat and sad for the next couple of weeks. The finder didn’t turn up a single recommendation worth shouting about, so I’m just gonna call it like it is. The whole 16-day window from now, from Thursday 23rd July all the way through to Friday 7th August, is a total blank. No decent surf on offer at all.
Let’s start with what we’ve got at Dania South Beach (beach and reef). It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but even for a learner, there’s nothin’ to work with. The swell is tiny — most of the time we’re lookin’ at 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft from the east, with periods around 8 seconds, so it’s weak, short-period windswell with barely any energy. The combined energy figures are pitiful, mostly stuck in the teens or low twenties (e.g. 23, 20, 13, 10). That’s weak, mate. There’s a couple of afternoons where the swell bumps up to 2 ft or 3 ft, but those are from the south with a period of just 4 seconds — that’s pure wind chop, not surf. The water temp is 86°F, which is about 1°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s pretty average for July — nothin’ unusual there.
The wind is a mixed bag. You get some clean mornings with light offshore or cross-off breezes (like Sunday 26th morning, Monday 27th morning, Tuesday 28th morning, and a few others), but without any swell, clean conditions don’t mean a thing. Most afternoons are plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds from the east or southeast, gusting up to 12 or 15 mph, making the already tiny surf even more choppy and messy. There’s no standout period, no day where you’d want to paddle out. The setup is a beach and reef, but with the swell this weak, it’s not even interesting for kite surfing — you’d need wind and at least a little wave to play with.
So, here’s the honest truth: if you’re lookin’ for a wave, you’re out of luck. This is a dead run for Dania South Beach, and it’s not unusual for this area to go through a quiet patch like this in summer. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothin’ on the horizon. Keep an eye on the charts, but for the next 16 days, I’d be finding something else to do.
Rusty.
