The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s call a spade a spade: this outlook for Dania South Beach is a total bummer. We’ve got a 16-day window that’s flat as a pancake. The first real chance to even look at the ocean is the 27th of July, and it’s a long, dry spell from there.
The first few days, from the 27th of July through the end of the month, the surf is tiny. We’re talking about 0.7ft at best, with combined swell energy barely registering (9). The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, which would be nice if there was any swell to work with. The water’s a warm 87°, which is about average for this time of year.
Heading into August, it’s more of the same. The first week is a flat, restless ocean. The wind starts to swing more cross-on and onshore, making the pathetic little bumps even uglier. The combined energy is still in the low teens. It’s just not happening.
The second week offers no hope. From the 5th of August onward, the swell tries to build, but it’s a sad, short-period mess. The swell direction is from the ESE and SE, but the period is a terrible 4-5 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 71 by the 10th of August, but don’t get excited – that’s all sloppy, wind-blown chop.
For a beach and reef setup like Dania South Beach, with this onshore wind and weak, short-period junk, it’s honestly more interesting for the kite surfers than for anyone with a paddle. There are no standouts in this entire outlook. The forecast is poor for every single day. If you’re itching for a paddle, the cleanest conditions will be on the morning of the 11th of August with that light ESE wind, but even then, the 4ft swell is from the wrong direction and has the energy of a wet paper bag (66). Honestly, save your wax.
