Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you, looking at Dania South Beach (beach and reef) right now… it’s pretty grim. The whole 16-day stretch is looking like a proper write-off for any kind of decent surf. You’ve got nothing but tiny, weak slop coming in. The combined wave energy barely gets into double digits for most of the run – we’re talking a peak of just 55 (moderate energy) on the Friday afternoon, but even that’s attached to a poor surf rating. The water’s sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
We kick off on Tuesday, the 7th of July, with a risk of thunderstorms and a tiny 0.3 ft easterly swell with a rubbish 5-second period. The wind is cross-on from the SSE at 9 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. It doesn’t get any better. Wednesday and Thursday are similar – 3 ft of short-period slop from the SE, but still cross-on winds keeping it bumpy. Friday the 10th sees the swell nudge up to 3 ft from the SE, but again, cross-on wind at 16 mph just kills it. The pattern just repeats: tiny waves, constant cross-onshore breezes, and that “poor surf conditions” label stuck on every single entry.
You get a tiny moment on Monday the 13th when the wind swings offshore from the WNW at 6 mph – that’s clean, glassy conditions – but the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft. You could paddle around, but you won’t be riding anything. The same story happens on Tuesday the 14th morning with light cross-shore wind and a 0.7 ft wave. It’s heartbreaking, really. The spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this run is one of those blank spells. It’s a beginner-friendly beach and reef setup, so when there’s no power behind it, there’s just nothing to do.
Given the tiny swell and persistent onshore or cross-onshore wind, this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There is no standout day. There is no standout option. If you live for this area, you’ll have to accept this is a proper flat spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a case of keeping the board in the car and checking again later.
