Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at the outlook for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I gotta be straight with you: if you’re looking for a proper surf, this is a rough patch. The whole 16-day stretch is basically a write-off. We’re looking at nothing but poor surf conditions from start to finish, with the first real gap lasting from now until we see the tiniest blip of energy on the 19th of July, and even that is nothing to get excited about. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 63 (63) to start with, and it just flatlines for days.

The only spot we’ve got on the radar is Rehoboth Main. It’s a beginner-friendly beach break, always crowded, and it’s exposed to the east. For the entire forecast, it’s just a story of tiny, weak windswell. We’re talking swell heights that barely push 3 ft, with a super short period of 5 to 6 seconds, mostly coming from the east or southeast. That’s just not going to produce anything with any shape or power. The wind is a mess too, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, especially early on, making it choppy and bumpy. There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 15th where it goes offshore and clean, but the swell is only 2 ft. It’s clean, sure, but there’s nothing to ride.

The water temperature here is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Later in the window, around the 26th of July, we see a slight bump in the combined energy to 164 (164) with a 4 ft swell from the south, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and ugly. Period is still short at 7 seconds. This setup is more appealing for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.

Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s nothing that qualifies as a standout. It’s a flat, poor run. Hang in there, forecasts can change, but right now, I’d keep the boards in the car and the wax in the bag.

Rusty.
