The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty again, breaking down the next 16 days at Palm Beach. Honestly, it’s a slow go. From now all the way through September 25th, there’s basically nothing—big gaps of flat water. You’re looking at at least a week and a half of no surf to speak of. Hang the board up for now.
The only real hope arrives on the morning of September 27th. A small E swell sneaks in around 5ft, but the period is short at 6 seconds—so it’s soft. The combined energy is weak too, sitting at 119. What saves it is a light offshore wind from the N at 3 mph, so it’ll look clean on the surface. That Sunday morning is your best bet if you’re desperate for a paddle. Come afternoon, the wind flips onshore and it falls apart. Palm Beach is a beach and reef setup, good for beginners, but it’s inconsistent here, so these long flat spells are pretty normal for the area. Water temperature is about average for September—nothing unusual.
After that, it’s back to the same story: tiny waves or flat conditions right through October 1st. Not much to get excited about, but forecasts change, and this spot can wake up again.

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