The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Dania South Beach. We’ve got a serious dry spell on the cards, and I’m not just talking about the lack of rain. The surf is going to be non-existent for the first week, and then it’s a real struggle to find anything rideable. Hang in there, but don’t get your hopes up.
The first record of any surf is on Saturday the 18th of July, but it’s a no-go. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the SSE with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 21, and with a cross-onshore wind blowing at 12 mph, it’s just choppy and poor. That’s the story for the entire first week, right through to Thursday the 23rd of July. The swell stays below 3 ft, the period is a pathetic 4 to 5 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore. It’s all getting a score of zero for a reason.
We do get a brief moment of calm early on Sunday the 26th of July morning. The wind goes light and cross-offshore from the SW at 6 mph, and the water goes clean. But the swell is still only 1.0 ft from the E with a 7-second period and an energy of 22. It’s clean, but there’s just nothing to surf. Same goes for Monday the 27th of July morning with a light offshore wind from the W, but again, a 1.0 ft swell.
The water temperature is sitting at 87°F, which is about a degree and a half warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a big deal, but it’s a bit balmy.
The best chance we see in the whole period is on the very last day of the forecast, Sunday the 2nd of August morning. The wind goes glassy from the NW, but the swell is still only 1 ft from the NNE with a 6-second period. The combined energy is 32. It’s clean, but it’s barely a ripple. For a spot that’s inconsistent and already a beginner break, this is a real bummer.
We’ve got a solid 10-day gap of utterly useless surf. It’s a bleak run, but it happens. The Dania South Beach setup is a mix of beach and reef, and with the wind and swell we’ve got, it’s honestly more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There’s just nothing to ride here for the foreseeable future.
Rusty.
