Table - best surf conditions forecast for Rehoboth Main over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let me level with you about Rehoboth Main.
Looking at the next 16 days, honestly, it's a flat and messy picture. We're not staring down any big swell, and most days the wind will chop the surface to pieces. The first week is a total bust. Almost nothing worth paddling out for, just tiny waves with poor conditions. The water is running at 78°, which is a solid 5° warmer than it should be for this time of year – like soup, but that's the only good part.
Kicking off on Thursday the 9th, the surf is poor with waves only 1ft to 1ft and a cross-shore breeze making it choppy. Friday the 10th is cleaner but still tiny. Saturday the 11th morning goes glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft. That's a lake. Sunday the 12th sees a bump to 3ft, but we get a stiff 30 km/h onshore wind that makes it lumpy and no good. That's a whole week with nothing to recommend.
We get a tiny window on Tuesday the 14th. The morning is glassy with a 2ft swell. The data says it's "surfable but very ordinary" – and that's the best moment in the whole run. The combined wave energy is low (56). Since this is a beginner spot and always packed, even that tiny window is gonna be full of people.
After that, it's back to small waves and wind issues until the final days. We see a bigger push on Monday the 20th afternoon with a 4ft S swell. The combined energy hits a moderate 144, but the cross-onshore wind makes it a choppy mess. It's surfable, but not pretty.
So my best call for the whole 16 days? If you just need to get wet, Tuesday morning the 14th is the one to aim for – glassy and clean. But that's the only real option. For the rest, you're waiting on a new forecast to save the run.
Rusty.

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.
