The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s keep it real: this stretch at Dania South Beach is a total bummer. The whole 16 days are flat and messy, with no real standout sessions. The first usable surf shows up on Sunday the 19th of July, but it’s a grind.
The pattern is tiny, weak swell from the SSE and SE, with constant cross-onshore winds messing it up. The water temp is 87°F, about normal for the season.
From Sunday the 19th through Wednesday the 22nd, you’re looking at waves around 1ft to 3ft. The swell period is short, only 4 to 5 seconds, so it’s weak and lumpy. The energy is low. Winds are cross-on from the SSE and SE, making it choppy. This is strictly for beginners who just want to float around.
Then from Thursday the 23rd through the end of the month, it drops even more – 0.7ft to 1ft with a little more period from the east at 8 seconds, but the energy is barely there. Winds stay mostly cross-on or cross, with a couple of clean moments early on Monday the 27th and Saturday the 1st of August, but there’s zero swell to ride.
The second week into August is the same story. Small waves, poor conditions. The best you might see is a tiny 2ft to 3ft wave on the 2nd of August, but it’s still cross-shore and the energy is only 41. Not worth it.
For kite surfers, the constant cross-onshore wind and lumpy water might be fun, but for paddle surfing, this is a dead zone. This is a beach and reef setup that can handle swell, but it’s not getting any. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards in the garage.
Rusty.

Information about the Dania South Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Dania South Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dania South Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dania South Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Dania South Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Dania South Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
