The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me give you the straight-up word on what's happening for our little slice of the coast.
Honestly, I gotta be upfront with you, it's a pretty grim picture for the next 16 days. We're looking at a long, dry spell. The first recommendation for a surf doesn't even pop up in the window, and honestly, the data backs that up. There's a solid 16-day stretch here with nothing but poor surf conditions. Not much to get excited about.
The only spot we've got in the mix is Dania South Beach, a beach and reef setup best for beginners. But even there, it's a tough watch. The water temp is sitting right around 86°, which is pretty much average for the time of year, nothing weird there.
Looking at the first few days, from Thursday the 23rd through the end of July, the swell is tiny. We're talking 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft from the east, with a period of 4 to 8 seconds. That's just weak, short-period windswell, not enough to push a paddleboard across a puddle. The combined energy is low, barely cracking 20 or 30 (17-28 range). The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The rare times it gets clean, like the Sunday morning the 26th with a light SSW cross-offshore, there's still literally no swell to ride.
As we roll into August, it's more of the same. The first week of August shows a little bump in height on the 6th and 7th, with the swell hitting 3 ft to 3 ft from the east-northeast, but the period is still short at 4-5 seconds. The energy finally gets a bit of legs, hitting 36-49 (weak), but the winds are blowing onshore and strong, over 15 mph. That's a recipe for a choppy, blown-out mess. It would be more interesting for the kite surfers than for anyone on a paddleboard.
The best I can honestly say is there's a couple of mornings, like the 29th and 30th of July, where the wind is light and cross-offshore, making the water glassy and clean. But with a swell height of 0.7 ft, you're just looking at a flat, clean lake. There are no standouts here. None. It's a total blank run. For this area, a period like this is more normal than not, so don't be too surprised. We're just in a flat spell. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to chase.
Rusty, signing off.
