Alright, let's have a look at what's on the table for Rehoboth Main over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight up with you, this is going to be a tough stretch. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn't show up until Tuesday afternoon, the 7th of July. Before that, from now through Monday, it’s a complete write-off. We're looking at tiny, weak swell – mostly 0.7ft to 1ft – with all sorts of cross-shore and onshore junk. There's a glassy moment on Sunday morning the 5th, but the swell is next to nothing at 0.7ft and the combined energy is a measly 10, so you'd just be floating around. So yeah, expect a solid several-day gap with zero recommendations.
Tuesday, 7th July finally brings a flicker of life. Tuesday afternoon we get a bump up to 3ft from the south, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 132 (moderate) and the wind goes glassy. That's our first proper window – it’s surfable, though very ordinary. The swell direction is S, which is pretty decent for this exposed spot. For a beginner spot, 3ft is fine, and with those light, offshore breezes from the WSW on the Tuesday morning beforehand, it should set up nicely for the afternoon glass-off.
Then, Sunday morning, 12th July is your next look. We get 3ft from the south, period at 7 seconds, and the combined energy is 109 (moderate). The wind is light and offshore from the WSW, which will keep it clean. Again, it's small but clean – that's about the best we've got.
Looking further out, things don't really improve. The swell stays tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and the energy stays weak. You’ve got a few clean moments with offshore winds on the 11th and 13th, but the swell is barely there. This is a lean period.
So, if I had to pick one standout from this whole 16-day run, it's the Tuesday afternoon (7th July). It’s the biggest swell of the period at 3ft, glassy conditions, and from a favourable south direction. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only time the numbers line up for something that isn't a total chore. For a beginner-friendly spot like Rehoboth Main, that’s your best bet. Crowds are always an issue here, but on a Tuesday you might get a bit more room.
The water temperature is sitting around average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
