Rebounds Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Rebounds. This is a reef break, so it’s got a bit of a local crew and it’s not for the faint of heart. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

The next week and a half is a real mixed bag. We’ve got some small, clean windows early on, but they’re not doing much. Thursday the 6th is basically flat with a weak 1ft SSW swell, and a 16-second period that’s just not doing anything for this spot. Friday the 7th is a bit better, with 3ft on the morning and a light NW cross-off breeze, and the water looks clean. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to get the heart rate up.

Saturday the 8th has a similar size, 3ft, but the wind is a solid 12 mph offshore from the north. That’s a good sign, keeping the walls nice and clean. The energy is moderate at 366, and it feels like a decent little reef session. But the 15-second period is worth noting – it’s not a long-period groundswell, so it might be a little more lined up than you’d expect.

Then it’s a bit of a letdown. Sunday the 9th drops back to 1ft, and the wind is howling from the north at 22 mph in the afternoon. Forget it. The energy is weak, below 100. Monday the 10th is a no-go for paddling – we’ve got 5ft of swell but a strong WSW cross-on wind at 19 mph, making it lumpy and messy. The energy ramps up to 1609, but it’s all for nothing. This is looking more like a kite-surf day than a surf day.

Tuesday the 11th is where it starts to turn around. We get 3ft of SSW swell, but the wind is offshore from the north, and it holds all day. The energy is moderate, and the period is 14 seconds. It’s clean, and it’s a good little window. Not huge, but fun.

Wednesday the 12th is a mixed bag. The morning has 4ft with a NW cross-off, but the afternoon turns to rain and a strong WSW cross-on at 22 mph. Not good.

Now, here’s the standout. Thursday the 13th. We’ve got 6ft of SSW swell with a 17-second period, and the wind is light and cross-off from the NW. The energy is strong at 1864. This is an excellent session for any experienced surfer. The reef will be working, and it’ll have some push. The morning is clear, the afternoon has some clouds, but the surf holds. This is the pick of the first week.

But hold on. Friday the 14th is a monster. The swell jumps to 16ft from the SW. The energy is a massive 18469. That is way, way too big for this break. It’s just going to be a washing machine. The wind is light in the morning, but the size makes it only for the most extreme kamikazes, and even then, it’s really not a good idea. The afternoon turns to onshore with a strong breeze, sealing the deal. This is a day to stay well clear.

After that, the swell backs down but stays fun. Saturday the 15th has 6ft in the morning with a light NW cross-off. Again, clean and powerful. The afternoon gets a bit cross-shore, but the morning is the go.

Sunday the 16th is still good – 5ft with a 15-second period and a light offshore from the NNW. Clean and consistent. A very good option.

After that, we fade out. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th drop back to 2ft. It’s surfable, but small. The rest of the week is similar, with a bump on Wednesday the 19th to 3ft with a fresh offshore, but it’s not a classic.

The real long-range look for the 21st shows a 5ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-off and the energy is moderate. It’s a bit of a wildcard, but it’s a week and a half out, so I wouldn’t book my flights yet.

So, for the whole period, the clear standout is Thursday the 13th. Get on it. Friday the 14th is a hard pass. And if you want a backup, Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are both solid.

Rusty out.
