The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch. The forecast is pretty flat for the entire 16-day window. The first real sniff of any surf is a tiny, weak 0.3ft NE swell on Friday the 31st of July, but that's hardly anything to get excited about. From there, we're looking at a long dry spell with nothing but tiny, wind-affected junk. The whole period is a bit of a write-off for a decent paddle.
The only spot in the frame is Dania South Beach. It's a beach and reef setup, so it can handle a bit of swell if it comes, but it's inconsistent and mainly for beginners. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but nothing too crazy.
Looking at the whole run, the best you're going to get is towards the end of the first week, but it's a low bar. On the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August, there's a 3ft ESE swell, but period is a short 4 seconds, so it'll be weak and crumbly. The wind is a messy cross-onshore, making it choppy. The combined energy is only 29 (moderate wave energy), so it's not going to be powerful. The afternoon of the 5th and the morning of Thursday the 6th of August see a *slightly* better 3ft ESE swell, with combined energy hitting 50 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is still cross-onshore and bumpy, keeping it from being any good. For a beginner, that 3ft might be on the edge of being too much, but for the rest of us, it's just not going to be a fun session.
The rest of the fortnight is more of the same, with tiny 1.0ft to 2ft swells from the east and southeast, plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds. There's one little moment on the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August with a 3ft ESE swell and a light breeze, but the period is only 5 seconds and the combined energy is 40 (moderate wave energy), which means it's still going to be a frustrating, weak, and choppy mess. The swell sizes are so small and the conditions are so consistently poor that there's nothing to recommend. It's a lean period, mate.
Rusty.
