The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, friend, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim outlook for the foreseeable future. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any kind of decent paddle. There’s just nothing happening.
Let’s break it down. From Monday the 20th of July right through to Tuesday the 4th of August, every single day is marked as poor surf. The waves are tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is just pathetic. The swell is consistently under 3ft, and most days it’s down around 0.7ft to 2ft. The period is short, often just 4 or 5 seconds, which means no power, no shape, just lumpy, messy water.
The only spot in the frame is Dania South Beach, a beach and reef setup that’s exposed to the east. It’s an inconsistent beginner spot, and with this forecast, it’s not even worth a look. The water is warm, about 86°, which is normal for this time of year.
There are a few moments where the wind goes light or glassy, like on the morning of the 30th of July with a glassy wind and a tiny 1.0ft swell, or the morning of the 31st of July with glassy conditions and 2ft. But that swell is just too small and weak to do anything with. The combined energy is pitiful, barely hitting 36 on the 31st morning, which is weak.
This is one of those stretches where the ocean just shuts down. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual. With so few consistent breaks, these flat spells can happen. We’ll have to wait for the forecasts to change. For now, leave the board in the car and maybe grab a cold one.
Rusty.
