Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Dania South Beach is a tough one. We’ve got a real flat spell on the cards, with weak, short-period windswell and barely a wave to get excited about. The combined energy readings are all weak, mostly sitting between 2 and 23, which says it all. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 87°, but that’s about the only thing out of the ordinary.
The first surfable day worth mentioning, if you can call it that, is Saturday, July 11th. Morning brings a tiny 1 foot SSE swell with a period of just 5 seconds. Combined energy is a measly 16. The wind is a light ESE cross-on, so it’ll be bumpy, but the forecast says ‘poor surf conditions’ – this is for the absolute die-hards with a log.
Sunday July 12th through the rest of the week just repeats the same story: tiny heights from 0.6 feet to 1 feet, short periods, mostly cross-onshore breezes. The combined energy stays in the 2 to 27 range. There’s one brief moment on Sunday, July 19th morning where we get a light SSW cross-off breeze and the report says ‘clean’, but with a 1 foot SSE swell at 3 seconds, it’s barely a ripple. The combined energy is only 5.
We’ve got a 16-day stretch with no decent surf. The only time the wind even looks glassy is on Sunday, July 26th morning with a NNW breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 0.6 feet. This is a period where the forecast just doesn’t have any punch. Given this is a beach and reef setup, and the wind is often onshore or cross-on, honestly, this looks more interesting for a kite session than paddling out. Hang tight, forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
