The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got the gen on the surf outlook for the coming weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you, it's a pretty grim picture for the Deerfield Beach Pier region. We're looking at a solid 16-day stretch with barely a ripple to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy readings are just sad. The water temp is sitting at a toasty 86°, which is a touch warmer than the norm for this time of year, so you won't need a wetsuit, but you'll be floating on a lake.
The whole forecast period is basically a bust. From Wednesday, the 12th of August, right through to the end, every single day is scored as "poor surf conditions." The biggest swell we see is a meager 3 ft on the morning of Saturday, the 15th, but that's coming from the SE with a short period of 5 seconds and a moderate cross-onshore wind, making it choppy and weak. The combined energy tops out at a feeble 42 (combined energy of all swells directed here: 42) on that same morning, which is barely enough to get excited about. There's a couple of mornings, like Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th, where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 1.0 ft – that's flat.
For a spot that's a sandbar setup, it's inconsistent at the best of times, and the optimum swell direction is from the East, which we do see, but the size just isn't there. The crowds are often a problem here, but with no waves, you'll have the place to yourself. This is a total write-off. If you're a beginner, you're better off finding a pool. If you're keen, look for a kite. The surf is just not happening.
