The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the 16-day window for our local waves. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The forecast shows zero real surf on offer. We’re talking about a long, blank run with nothing but tiny, weak slop and poor conditions for the entire 16 days. The first record starts on Thursday morning, July 23rd, and it’s all downhill from there.
Let’s break it down. We’re looking at Dania South Beach (beach and reef). The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about average for the time of year.
Thursday the 23rd starts with a measly 2ft of easterly, short-period junk at 4 seconds, with an onshore breeze. The combined wave energy is a pathetic 18. It’s poor surf, plain and simple. That’s the story for the entire period. Friday and Saturday are even smaller, 1ft, with cross-onshore winds chopping it up. The swell direction is from the east, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but there’s just no size or power to back it up.
Sunday the 26th is a bit of a tease. The morning shows a clean 1ft with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW, but the energy is just 13. It’s still too small to do anything. The rest of the week is a blur of 0.7ft to 2ft waves, with the combined energy rarely cracking 20. Most days the wind is cross-offshore or light, giving clean conditions, but the swell is completely absent. By the end of July and into early August, the pattern is the same: tiny, weak easterly or southerly pulses. The biggest swell we see is 3ft on Sunday, August 2nd, but it’s from the SSE with a period of 5 seconds and a fresh cross-shore wind. The combined energy reaches 69, which is still very weak, and the wave comment reads “poor surf conditions.” The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Look, this is a classic flat spell for the area. There are no standouts, no hidden gems, nothing to get excited about. If you’ve got a longboard and a lot of patience, you might find a knee-high blip on a clean morning, but for any real surf, you’re out of luck. The forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d hang the board up for a couple of weeks.
Rusty.
