The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be honest with you – it’s been a rough stretch around here. I’m looking at the next 16 days at Deerfield Beach Pier and there’s just nothing on offer. Flat out, no rideable waves to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a bust.
Let’s break it down: through the rest of August and right up to the end of the month, we’re looking at tiny swell – mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft. The period is short, mostly between 3 and 10 seconds, and the combined swell energy is weak, often in the teens or low twenties (like 17, 11, 9). That’s just not enough push to form a wave you can actually surf. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the SE and E, and that seals the deal – small swell with onshore wind equals a day for tanning, not surfing.
There are a few mornings where the wind goes offshore from the WNW or W (like the morning of August 18th and 19th), and the conditions look clean, but the swell is only 0.7 ft to 1 ft. That’s not enough to make a ripple, let alone a rideable wave. It’s frustrating because the conditions are glassy or clean, but there’s just no ocean energy to work with.
I wouldn’t even call it a “beginner” day. It’s a “leave the board in the car” day. Even when the period bumps up a bit on the 27th (around 11 to 12 seconds) the swell height is still only 1 ft to 1 ft – not enough to break properly. The combined energy stays under 60, so it’s still weak.
There’s no standout, no hope spot, nothing to recommend. This is a blank run for the area. The spot is sheltered and doesn’t pick up much, so a stretch like this isn’t unusual, but it doesn’t make it any easier to swallow. Keep checking back – forecasts can change, but right now, there’s just no surf at Deerfield Beach Pier for the next 16 days.
