Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked at the whole 16-day window for Dania South Beach, and honestly, it’s a rough stretch. The forecast shows nothing but tiny, weak, and mostly messy surf. There’s no standout day, no sneaky good session, just a long run of small waves and onshore wind. The combined wave energy is weak, often in the teens or single digits, and never climbs above 37, which is barely a ripple. Periods are short, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, meaning it’s all windswell and junk. The only positive is that water temp is a touch warmer than normal, sitting at 87°, about 2° above average for this time of year.
The first real shot at anything rideable is Saturday afternoon, July 11th, with a tiny 2 ft swell from the SE at 4 seconds. But the wind is a cross-onshore SE breeze at 9 mph, making it choppy. The comment says “poor surf conditions,” and I’m not gonna argue. Sunday, July 12th, is just more of the same: 2 ft from the ESE, but still cross-on and choppy. Monday and Tuesday, July 13th and 14th, the swell drops to 0.7 ft. It’s basically flat with little wind ripples.
There’s a brief moment on Friday morning, July 17th, where the wind goes glassy calm. The swell is only 2 ft from the SE at 4 seconds, so it’s tiny, but at least it’ll be clean. If you’re desperate to get wet and just want to float on a foamie, that’s your window. But it’s short-lived; by afternoon it’s back to choppy.
The second week, from July 19th onward, is a sad story. The swell never gets above 3 ft, and the wind is mostly cross, cross-on, or cross-off with bits of clean. The combined energy stays in the weak range, mostly between 3 and 37. The odd morning, like July 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd, has clean conditions with cross-off or light winds, but the swell is 1 ft to 2 ft. It’s still not surfable in any meaningful way. The setup is a beach and reef, so with no real swell and persistent side-to-onshore winds, it’s more interesting for a kiteboarder than a paddle surfer.
To put it bluntly: there are no good surf options in the entire 16-day window. The forecast shows a blank run of constantly poor conditions. That’s not unusual for this area in summer, when the trade winds tend to ruin the small bumps. It’s a long stretch of nothing, but keep an eye on it – the forecast can change, and it tends not to stay this flat forever.
