Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dania South Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. I’ve looked over the entire 16-day window, and honestly, there’s just no surf to get excited about. The conditions are flat, and the swell energy never really gets going. We’re looking at a long stretch where you’ll be better off finding something else to do.
The first chance for anything resembling a wave is just not there. The whole run from July 13th right through to July 28th is a bust. That’s over two weeks of minimal to no rideable swell. It’s a proper dry spell.
Dania South Beach is the only break on the cards, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times. It’s a beach and reef setup, but there’s just no push. The combined swell energy never climbs above a weak, pitiful 28 in the brackets, and most days it’s sitting in single digits – that’s barely a ripple. The swell heights are tiny, under 2ft, and the periods are short, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, so there’s no power behind them.
What’s a real kick in the teeth is that even when the wind looks alright – like on Thursday morning, July 16th, when it’s glassy with a slight air – the swell is a measly 1ft. Or Friday morning, July 17th, another glassy start, but the wave height is a pathetic 0.3ft. You can’t surf what isn’t there.
The wind is mostly a cross-onshore mess, with some moderate to fresh breezes making things choppy or lumpy for the afternoon sessions. It’s just not a setup that’s going to give you anything worth paddling out for.
Forget about beginners or experts – there’s nothing for anyone. With swell this small and weak, and the constant cross-onshore wind, honestly, a kite surfer might get bored too. For a paddle surfer, it’s a total write-off.
The long-range stuff into the second week, from July 24th onward, is just more of the same: tiny and weak. No hope on the horizon.
Sometimes it’s like this in this area. A blank run of this length isn’t unheard of. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, I’d leave the board in the shed.
Rusty.
