The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, and the news isn't any better in feet and degrees. We’re looking at the same 16-day stretch from August 21st to September 5th for Deerfield Beach Pier, and it’s a flat-out dud.
The biggest combined energy we see is still on Friday, August 28th morning, at 45 (45) – that’s very weak energy. Swell heights top out at about 3ft, but mostly we’re talking 0.3ft to 2ft. The period is short, mostly 4 to 9 seconds, and the wind is blowing onshore or cross-onshore almost the whole time, ruining any chance of a clean wave. It’s a sheltered sandbar, and with waves this tiny and choppy, it’s honestly more of a kiteboarding playground than a surf spot. The swell never gets over 5ft, so it’s not a danger, but the quality is just not there.
The one small window is Sunday morning, August 30th. The swell hits 3ft from the East with a 5-second period, and the energy reads 39 (39). But with the wind from the ESE at 9 mph, it’s still choppy. It’s the closest thing we have to a highlight, but it’s a weak one. Water temp is about normal for the season at 87°, so at least you can sit out there comfortably.
The rest of the outlook into early September is the same sad story: tiny swells (0.3ft to 1ft), short periods, and onshore winds. September 5th is the last day and it’s flat with cross-on breezes. A long, dry spell like this is pretty standard for this break when there’s no real swell in the water.

Information about the Deerfield Beach Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Deerfield Beach Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Deerfield Beach Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Deerfield Beach Pier 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 (Deerfield Beach Pier) 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 Deerfield Beach Pier 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.
