The Lowdown
Alright, this is gonna be a tough one to write, folks. Rusty here. We’re looking at a full 16-day window, and honestly, I’m struggling to find a reason to get the board waxed. Let me break it down for you.
For the next couple of weeks, we’re looking at a flat spell that just won’t quit. The only break on the radar is Deerfield Beach Pier, and it’s a sandbar setup that’s sheltered and inconsistent. The water is sitting at 87°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t pop up until Thursday, July 30th, and even then it’s a stretch. That afternoon we get a tiny 2ft wave from the South, with a period of just 4 seconds. That’s no good. The energy is weak, only 15 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wind is a light cross-shore, but the waves are too small and crumbly to do anything with.
Friday, July 31st, is even worse, with 0.3ft waves. I’m not even going to pretend that’s surfable.
Saturday, August 1st, brings a bit of a bump in the afternoon, with 2ft from the SE, but it’s short period (4 seconds) and the wind is onshore and choppy. The energy ticks up to 20 (combined energy of all swells directed here), but it’s messy and weak.
The following week, from August 2nd through the 12th, it’s all the same story. We see heights bouncing between 1ft and 3ft, but the period is stuck between 4 and 5 seconds. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy remains low - the best we see is 41 (combined energy of all swells directed here) on the morning of August 6th. That’s still weak, and the waves are short-period wind slop.
There’s no standout. There’s no good option. The entire forecast is a write-off for surf. The swell is too small, the period is too short, and the wind is almost always against us. If you’re desperate to get wet, you’re better off with a flat-water paddle or a kite. For a wave, you’re out of luck.
Rusty.

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.
