The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the local surf scene for the next couple of weeks.
If you’re looking for a wave, you’re looking at a real dry spell. We’ve got a solid 16 days of forecast, and honestly, from now right through to the end of the run on August 12th, the surf is flat as a pancake. There are no recommendations on the table. The only break we’ve got data for is Dania South Beach, and it’s a tough read.
The water is sitting at a warm 87°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing strange there.
Starting on July 28th and running all the way through, the swell is tiny. We’re looking at 0.7ft to 2ft at best, with short, weak periods. The combined energy is consistently low, with values like 10 or 17 (weak energy). The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, which isn't terrible, but with no size to work with, it doesn't matter. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
From July 28th to August 12th, it’s day after day of “poor surf conditions.” The wind stays light to moderate, sometimes cross-onshore, which just adds a bit of chop to the nothing burger. The swell direction is all over the place from E, to SE, to SSE, but it’s all tiny. Even on the days with a little bump, like July 30th afternoon with 2ft from the S, the period is only 4 seconds, so it’s just messy, weak windswell.
This is a classic blank run for a spot like this. It’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now, it’s not offering a single thing. Don’t bother paddling out. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle board right now, but even then, it’s marginal. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Dania South Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
