Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on at Dania South Beach.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: this 16-day stretch is lookin’ flat and frustrating. The surf is poor from the very first day we get a report, and that’s on Tuesday July 7th. There’s a long, long gap of disappointing conditions ahead.
So, on Tuesday the 7th, we’re talking a tiny 0.5m (2ft) swell out of the southeast with a weak 3-second period. The combined energy is a pathetic (15), so there’s just no power. Winds are cross-onshore at 20 km/h (12 mph), churning up a choppy surface. Water temp is 31° (87°F), which is a touch warmer than normal, but that’s the only bright spot. Everything is scored as poor.
Wednesday the 8th through Sunday the 12th: same story. Swell hangs around 0.4m to 0.8m (1ft to 3ft), periods are short, and winds are mostly cross-onshore. The energy values are weak, barely cracking 55 at best. The morning of Sunday the 19th offers a clean, glassy moment with a light 5 km/h (3 mph) cross-offshore wind, but the swell is a miniscule 0.2m (0.7ft). Flat, clean, and useless.
The second week, from the 13th to the 22nd, is a total desert. Swell is 0.2m to 0.6m (0.7ft to 2ft), periods stay short, wave energy is in the low teens. Occasionally a longer 8-second period swell tries to show up, but there’s no size behind it. The wind stays messy or onshore.
For a beginner beach and reef setup like this, it’s just not happening. If you’re a kiteboarder, the onshore wind might give you something, but for a paddle surfer, this is a tough stretch. In this area, a run of flat days like this is pretty standard in the summer.
Don’t lose hope, the ocean can change quick.
Rusty.
