The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch of the Miami coast is looking like a tough one for the next couple of weeks. I’ve had a good look at the charts, and we’re in a real flat spell. There are no good surf options on offer in this 16-day window, so don’t get your hopes up for any sessions that are worth suiting up for.

We’re looking at Dania South Beach (United States), a beach and reef setup that’s usually fairly exposed and prefers an east swell. The problem is, the swell is tiny. For the entire forecast period, we’re talking about ankle-to-knee high waves at best. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting at just 8 for most of the first week, and only creeping up to a modest 59 by the second weekend. That’s not enough to push a ripple.

The first few days, starting Monday the 27th of July, the wind is okay – a glassy morning on Monday with a light westerly at 3 mph, turning to a cross-offshore breeze. The water temp is about average for the time of year. But even with clean conditions, the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft and 8 seconds, barely breaking. It’s basically a lake.

As we move through the week, it’s more of the same. Tuesday through Thursday, the swell stays at 0.7 ft, the wind is clean but from the cross-off direction, and the advice is consistent: poor surf. The period is short, around 8 seconds, so there’s no push. The mornings look the cleanest, but there’s simply no wave to ride.

Into the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August, the wind shifts to a cross-onshore flow, making it choppy and lumpy. The swell height barely nudges up to 2 ft on the Sunday afternoon, but with a period of only 3 seconds, it’s just wind slop. Combined energy is still well under 100, so it’s weak.

The second week is a broken record. From Monday the 3rd of August through to Tuesday the 11th, the swell is consistently 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with periods of 3 to 10 seconds. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, so the surface is messy. The only slight change comes on the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, where we finally see a bit more energy, with combined energy climbing to 35, and a 3 ft swell from the east. But the wind is a cross-off and the setup is still recorded as poor surf. It’s not worth paddling out.

For a beach and reef break like this, with such tiny swell and a persistent cross-onshore breeze, this is more of a kiteboarding skip than a surf session. Don’t bother with the wax – it’s a flat run, and it’s normal for this area to go quiet like this. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d find something else to do.

Rusty.
