The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The entire 16-day window here at Dania South Beach is a rough stretch. Honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. Every single surf window comes back as poor surf conditions. You’re looking at a complete blank run.
The issue is a total lack of any decent swell. Most days you’re looking at tiny waves around 1.0 ft to 3 ft, and the period is short, mostly 3 to 5 seconds. That’s wind chop, not real surf. The combined swell energy is weak, staying between 8 and 60 on most days. There’s no power behind it.
The wind is also working against us. For the first week and a half, it’s mostly a moderate cross-onshore breeze, keeping things choppy and messy. From July 27th through to August 2nd, the swell gets even smaller, dropping to 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft, with a slightly longer period of 8 to 9 seconds that hangs around, but it’s still just too tiny to do anything with. A few mornings have that glassy, offshore cross-off wind look with a clean surface, like on the 28th, 29th, 30th of July and the 1st and 2nd of August, but the waves are non-existent or barely a ripple.
The water temp is 87°F at the start with a 2°F anomaly, so it’s a little warmer than average for the time of year. But that doesn’t help the surf.
This is a tough one. For this break, a blank run like this is more normal for the area during this time of year. There is simply no standout, no best day, no reason to paddle out. Keep an eye on the forecasts, sometimes they change, but as it sits, leave the board in the car.
