Table - best surf conditions forecast for Rehoboth Main over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me get a good look at what we’ve got cookin’. To be straight up with you, Rehoboth Main is lookin’ pretty flat and sad through this whole 16-day stretch. The ocean’s just not cooperating.
The whole run is a tough one. We start on Saturday the 11th with barely a ripple – 0.7ft of weak, short-period ESE swell, and the wind’s all over the place. The water's a warm 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time, but that’s the only nice thing I can say about it. There's just no energy, and the conditions are labelled “poor” right through the first week and a half.
We get a little bump on Monday the 20th, with the swell trying to push up to 4ft from the ENE, but the wind swings around to a cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it chop city. The combined energy hits 98, but it’s still not enough to get excited about.
Now, if you’re real keen, the morning of Tuesday the 21st is the only window that shows a glimmer. We’ve got 4ft of ENE swell, the wind drops to glassy calm – absolute zero – and the energy hits 102, which is in the moderate range. The report even calls it “surfable waves,” the only day in the whole period that isn't a total write-off. But it’s a short-period swell at only 6 seconds, so it’s not gonna have any grunt, and the wind is gonna swing around to a light cross-onshore in the arvo. It’s a one-morning stand, and you’d have to be desperate.
After that, things get blown out again. There's a spike in swell energy on Thursday the 23rd, with 5ft and combined energy hitting 201, but it’s all onshore and messy. With that size and the wind, at a beach break, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So bottom line: There are no standouts here. No day where everything lines up. The whole window is a bit of a bust. If you absolutely have to get wet, that Tuesday the 21st early glass-off is your only chance for a few grovelly ones. But honestly, take a week off – it tends not to stay this poor forever.

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.
