Alright, let’s switch to feet and Fahrenheit for you guys. Rusty here, with the real talk on Rehoboth Main.
The first few days are a write-off. There’s a big, flat gap at the start. Starting Saturday the 4th, the swell is a pathetic 1ft from the SSE with a fresh onshore breeze. Wave energy is a weak 42. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 74°, but that doesn’t help the surf being junk.
That dead spell runs through Monday. We get some clean mornings, like Tuesday the 7th, with an offshore wind, but the swell is still just 2ft to 3ft with a dinky 4 to 6-second period. It’s all weak.
The first real chance comes Friday morning the 10th. A light offshore at 15 km/h cleans up a 2ft SSE swell (6-second period). It’s surfable. The absolute highlight of the whole 16 days is the afternoon of Friday the 10th. The wind dies to glassy, and the swell holds at 3ft from the SSE with an 8-second period. Wave energy sits at 85. It’s small but it will be picture-perfect for a log. That is your session.
Saturday the 11th morning is also clean with a moderate offshore for a 2ft SSE swell (9-seconds, 71 energy). A good backup.
Into the second week, Tuesday the 14th afternoon goes glassy again with a 2ft ENE swell (8-seconds, 86 energy). Nice, but tiny.
The biggest swell of the lot hits on Friday morning the 17th. We get a 4ft S swell with a 6-second period, cleaned up by a 15 km/h offshore W wind. Wave energy hits a moderate 107. This is the biggest push and the cleanest wave of the outlook. For a shortboard, you’ll get a few punchy little runners.
Given it’s a small, exposed beach break that’s always crowded, expect company on those rare clean windows.
Rusty out.

Information about the Rehoboth Main Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Rehoboth Main provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Rehoboth Main can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Rehoboth Main surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Rehoboth Main) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
