Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Rehoboth Main.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks it’s a bit of a flat spell with nothing that really gets the heart racing. The first sniff of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Monday the 6th of July, but even then it’s pretty weak.
Alright, so Monday morning the 6th brings a tiny bit of energy with swell around 2ft out of the S, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW. The water is warm, about 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a bit of a treat if you’re in a thin wettie. The surf is clean but the energy is low, around 46 (weak), and the period is only 5 seconds, so it’s bumpy and disorganised. It’s rideable if you’re desperate, but nothing to write home about.
Tuesday the 7th is a write-off with poor surf and choppy conditions. Wednesday the 8th morning shows a pulse of better energy though – the combined energy hits 147 (moderate) with a 3ft swell from the ENE and a 7-second period. Trouble is, the wind is onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, so it’s messy. Still, if you’re a beginner and just want to get wet, it’s the best of a bad bunch. There are no standouts here.
The rest of the first week and into the second is mostly tiny, weak, and windy. A few moments, like Friday the 10th morning with glassy conditions or Monday the 13th with glassy morning wind and surfable but ordinary waves around 3ft, are passable, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. Thursday the 16th morning has a clean offshore wind from the WNW and 2ft swell, but again, the energy is low at 41 (weak).
There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations – from the 10th through to the 20th, it’s all “poor surf conditions” except for a few “surfable but ordinary” moments. The forecast confidence for that second week is lower, but the trend is clear: it’s small.
The consistent rating here is “fairly consistent,” but honestly, it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts can change. For now, if you’re a beginner, Wednesday morning the 8th might be your best bet for a little practice, but keep the expectations low. For anyone else, I’d wait.

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 Rehoboth Main 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.
