The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the hard truth. This 16-day outlook for Dania South Beach is a proper dry spell. We’ve got a long, flat stretch ahead. The first surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 28th of July, and even then it’s a struggle.
From the start, we’re looking at a weak, short-period easterly swell that’s barely cracking 0.6ft. The combined energy is a measly 10, so there’s just no push in the water. The wind is a cross-off from the SW, which isn’t bad for keeping it clean, but with waves that small, you’re just bobbing around. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but with nothing to ride, it’s a washout. This flat, poor surf drags on through the end of July and into the start of August.
We see a slight bump in the swell around Friday the 31st of July, with a tiny 2ft from the south, but the period is a dismal 3 seconds. That’s just wind slop. The energy is still weak at 15, and the wind shifts to a moderate cross-shore, making it lumpy. It’s still in the “poor surf conditions” bin.
The entire first week of August continues this sad pattern. Swell heights barely touch 2ft, periods stay short, and the wind is mostly cross-shore or onshore from the east and southeast. The combined energy climbs only to around 24, which is still feeble. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that’s little comfort when there’s nothing to surf.
The only faint glimmer comes on the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. We see a 2ft swell from the ESE with a period of 4 seconds, and the energy creeps up to 32 – still weak, but it’s the best we’ll see. The wind is light and onshore from the east, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but it’s the least messy option in a two-week desert. The tide will be doing all the work.
Overall, there’s no standout day. The combination of tiny swell, very short periods, and mostly cross-to-onshore winds means we are in a bona fide flat spell. If you’re desperate, that Wednesday the 12th of August has the biggest, cleanest-looking crumb in the whole forecast, but set your expectations to zero. Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.
Rusty, out.
