Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the Dania South Beach forecast. Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, we are in a bit of a flat spell. The finder has no good recommendations for the whole 16-day window, so I’m not going to sugarcoat it: the surf is mostly tiny and wonky. But let’s dive into what’s happening, because sometimes you just need to know when to leave the board at home.

Right off the bat, from Wednesday morning the 8th through to the end of the period on the 23rd, it’s a long, drawn-out stretch of small, weak swell. The combined energy is nearly always below 100, which is a dead giveaway the ocean is taking a nap. Most days you’re looking at swell heights under 3 ft, often with periods around 4-6 seconds, which is just short-period, wind-driven chop. That’s not surf, that’s just messy water.

The first real flicker of something comes on Wednesday morning, July 15th, where the combined energy nudges up to 100, but it’s from the NNE with a 9-second period and cross-onshore winds. The wave comment is “poor surf conditions,” so it’s not going to be pretty. By Thursday the 16th afternoon, we see the swell bump to 4 ft from the SE with a 6-second period and combined energy at 103. Still, the wind is onshore and the report says “poor surf conditions.” Not a day to get excited about.

The closest we get to something surfable is on Saturday the 18th morning. The wind shifts to a light cross-offshore from the SSW at 6 mph, and the report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” with a score of 1 out of 10. Swell is 4 ft from the SE at 5 seconds. It’s clean, but the swell is weak and short-period. It would be ankle to knee high, maybe a rare waist-high set, but it’s going to be weak and crumbly. Sunday the 19th morning is similar with clean conditions and 4 ft swell, but again, the energy is low at 77. It’s something to paddle around in, but don’t expect any barrels.

For the rest of the run, we see a few more mornings with clean cross-offshore wind (like Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st), but the swell is tiny or the period is so short the waves just don’t have any push. On the 21st, the swell drops back to 3 ft and then 1 ft. By the 23rd, it’s down to 0.7 ft. This is a classic summer flat spell for a beach and reef setup like Dania South Beach. It’s inconsistent and rarely breaks decently, so a two-week gap with nothing really good is pretty normal for this area. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say don’t bother looking until something bigger rolls in. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so at least the paddle will be comfortable.

Keep the stick in the car, and maybe go for a swim or a run. The ocean will wake up again. This is Rusty, signing off.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Dania South Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
