Alright, let's get into it. It's Rusty here.
First up, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty flat for Dania South Beach. This is a tough stretch. We're talking about a solid run of days with barely a ripple, so don't get your hopes up for anything decent.
Starting off Saturday the 11th of July, it's pretty grim. We've got a tiny 2ft swell from the southeast, but it's short-period windswell at just 6 seconds, and the wind is a cross-onshore. The water's sitting at about average for this time of year, but with the combined energy only at 46 (weak), it's messy and choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 12th is even smaller, dropping to 2ft, and the conditions stay poor. Through the week, from Monday the 13th right through to the following weekend, the swell just doesn't show up. We're looking at heights consistently under 2ft, mostly from the east or northeast, with periods under 8 seconds. The combined energy values are all in the weak double digits – you'll see numbers like 23, 26, 25 – just not enough push to do anything with.
There is a brief moment on Thursday morning the 16th of July where it goes glassy, with a 1ft swell from the NE, but it's still weak energy (25) and the waves are just too small to ride. It'd be a nice morning for a paddle, but not a surf.
After that, the pattern stays the same. We get a few clean mornings with light cross-offshore winds on the 17th, 19th, and 20th, but the swell is either non-existent or barely a knee-high bump. Even the more promising days towards the end of the month, like Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, only push out a 2ft to 3ft swell from the southeast. The combined energy finally creeps up to 30 and 32 (still weak), but with a short period around 4-5 seconds, it's just not going to produce any real wave face.
Honestly, there's nothing here that I'd recommend paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer on a windy afternoon than for anyone with a shortboard. This is one of those stretches where the flat spells are normal for the area. Don't hang up the boardshorts just yet – forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the car.
