The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days… it’s a tough one for Dania South Beach. The whole window is pretty flat. We’re talking about a stretch of days where the surf is just barely there, and honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for. The energy is just too weak.
The first real chance to get wet is today, Tuesday, July 28th. We’ve got a tiny 0.7ft swell coming from the east with a period of 8 seconds. The wave energy is minimal, only about 10 (combined energy). The water is sitting at a warm 87°, about normal for this time of year. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze, which is okay for keeping it clean, but with only 0.7ft on offer, it’s barely a ripple. Don’t expect much.
Wednesday, the 29th, is more of the same—0.7ft east swell with a cross-offshore wind. The afternoon sees a slight improvement with a true offshore wind, but the swell is still flat. Thursday the 30th through to Saturday the 1st of August is a real flat spell. Swell drops to 0.3ft, and the wind goes cross-shore. The energy is down to 5-10. It’s a lake out there.
There’s a little bump trying to show up on Sunday the 2nd of August. The swell nudges up to 1ft in the morning, then 2ft in the afternoon. But the period crashes to 4 seconds—that’s windswell, not real surf. The wind also swings to a cross-shore, and by the afternoon it’s a fresh 19 mph cross-shore breeze, making it lumpy. The energy is still weak, only 19. This is more of a kite-surfing wind than a paddle-surfing wave.
From Monday the 3rd of August right through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday the 12th, it’s a long, drawn-out run of onshore or cross-onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. Swell heights hover between 1ft and 3ft, but the period is always short (4-5 seconds), and the energy only reaches a high of 40. The wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore, so the waves will be messy and choppy. Not a single standout day in the whole run.
The only break I’ve got to report on is Dania South Beach itself. It’s a beach and reef setup, inconsistent, and definitely beginner-friendly when it’s small. But right now, there’s just no swell to work with. It’s a frustrating blank run, but that’s the reality of the forecast. Keep your eyes peeled for a change in the charts, but for now, I’d find something else to do.
Rusty.
