The Lowdown
Alright, my fellow wave hunters, Rusty here. Let’s be real – this is a flat spell. The entire 16 days offers nothing that’s gonna get your heart pumping. It’s a long stretch of small, choppy, and unappealing water.
We kick things off on Thursday, July 16th, with a puny 0.7ft wave that’s barely a bump. The wind is a cross-on from the SE, keeping it messy. The combined energy is a paltry 9. It’s a poor start, and it doesn’t get any better for a long time. The water is a warm 87°F, which is about 2°F above the usual for this time of year, so it’s noticeably warm.
The first week is a total slog. From Friday the 17th all the way through the end of July, the swell rarely breaks past 2ft or 3ft. When it does, like on Sunday the 26th with a 3ft swell, the wind is still cross-on or cross-shore, leaving the surface lumpy and choppy. The periods are short, mostly 4 to 5 seconds, so there’s no real energy or shape. The wave energy numbers are all in the low double digits or 30s, never reaching 100. This is just a quiet, dead period.
The one morning that offers a tiny glimmer of hope is Wednesday, July 30th. We get a 4ft swell from the E, with a lighter cross-shore breeze from the SSE. The wave energy climbs to 86, which is still weak, but at least it’s heading in the right direction. The wind is described as "gentle cross-shore with slight cross-chop," so it won’t be glassy, but it’s the cleanest window we’ve got. Even then, the period is a short 5 seconds, so no real power. For a beginner at Dania South Beach, the size is fine, but the spot is inconsistent and the quality is still poor.
There’s no standout. The morning of July 30th is your only real chance to scratch an itch, and it’s a faint one. The rest of the time, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
