The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here with a look at our local stretch. And I've got to level with you—this one's a bummer. From Thursday, July 16th all the way through to Friday, July 31st, the finder is coming up empty. Not a single good option in this 16-day window, so we're looking at a real dry spell.
The only spot on the list is Dania South Beach. It's a beach and reef setup, good for beginners, but it’s *inconsistent* and honestly, it rarely fires. It's fairly exposed to the east, but the swell just isn't showing up. The water's sitting around 87°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so at least the dip won't be a shock.
Across the whole run, the wave heights are a joke. We're talking little bumps of 0.7ft to 3ft, mostly coming from the SSE or SE with periods of 4 to 9 seconds—just pure, weak windswill. The combined energy is pathetic, barely cracking 20 or 30, which is a sad little number. The wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, with one brief shot of offshore wind on Friday morning the 17th, but the swell is a measly 0.7ft. You'd stand up and have nothing under you. There's a slight bump on Saturday the 18th of July morning with a 9-second period, but it's a 0.3ft wave—don't even bother.
Every afternoon is a write-off with moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds making it choppy as hell. Even the mornings are only offering light wind ripples or a slight cross-chop. We've even got a risk of thunderstorms on Friday afternoon the 17th and Thursday the 30th, for what it's worth.
When an area has no consistent spots and a forecast this flat, it's just the way it goes sometimes. This stretch can go quiet for long stretches. The whole setup is so small and messy that it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep your chin up, folks. Forecasts change, and it won't be dead forever.
Rusty, out.
