The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here with the straight-up on Ocean Reef Park.
We are looking at a long, slow, flat run. For the first week, through about the 23rd, it’s all but dead. Swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, coming out of the ESE with short, weak periods (4 to 8 seconds). The combined swell energy is pathetic, mostly in the single digits or low tens. We get a few glassy mornings with calm wind, but the waves are just ankle-biters. There’s nothing to ride.
Things try to pick up slightly around Tuesday, August 25th. The swell gets up to around 3ft, with the energy finally climbing into the 30s and then up to 84 at one point. But the wind is a problem, staying right onshore from the east, so it’s going to be messy and bumpy. The period is still short, under 6 seconds, so it’s all junky, weak windswell.
The best we’ve got across the whole 16 days is probably the morning of Thursday, August 27th. We see a 1ft ESE swell with a period of 10 seconds (a bit more push) and the combined energy gets to 84. The wind is a gentle onshore breeze. It’s the most energy in the water, and the longer period might give a bit of shape, but it’s still not what you’d call good. Every other slot is just blown-out chop. This whole stretch is a better bet for a kite than a surfboard.
Rusty.

Information about the Ocean Reef Park Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ocean Reef Park provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ocean Reef Park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ocean Reef Park 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 (Ocean Reef Park) 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 Ocean Reef Park 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.
Ocean Reef Park is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Riviera Beach. If you plan a vacation in South Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Riviera Beach. Riviera Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
