The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch of coast is looking pretty flat for the foreseeable future. There’s nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for, so I’m going to walk you through the long, quiet spell we’re in for.
First up, the only spot in the mix is Dania South Beach (beach and reef). The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about 1° warmer than average for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a little on the warm side.
The outlook kicks off on Friday, July 31st, and honestly, it’s a non-starter. You’ve got a tiny 0.3ft easterly swell with a period of 10 seconds, but the combined energy is a measly 3 – that’s practically nothing. The morning starts with a light offshore from the WSW, which would clean things up, but there’s just no wave to ride. The afternoon goes cross-onshore and choppy. This is a “poor surf conditions” call all the way through.
Saturday, August 1st, the swell bumps up to 0.7ft from the east with an 8-second period, and combined energy is still only 10. The morning has a cross-offshore wind from the SSW, so it’s clean, but again, there’s no real wave. Afternoon turns into a fresh cross-shore breeze with lumpy chop. Not worth it.
Sunday, August 2nd, we see 2ft from the southeast, but the period is a pitiful 4 seconds, and the energy is still just 26. Cross-shore winds all day with a chop. It’s messy, weak, and disappointing.
From Monday, August 3rd, right through to Saturday, August 15th, it’s the same sad story. Swell heights wobble between 1.0ft and 3ft, periods mostly between 3 and 5 seconds, and combined energy never cracks 50. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, sometimes onshore, with a few mornings offering a light breeze that cleans the surface but does nothing for the lack of waves. The word “poor” appears on every single line in the data.
There’s not a single standout in this 16-day window. It’s a total blank run. If you’re a paddler, leave the board at home. Honestly, with the constant onshore and cross-shore winds and that weak, short-period swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a solid “no go.” Rusty signing off.
