G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next 16 days at Rehoboth Main, and I gotta be straight with you—there’s nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for. The water’s way warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ at 78°F with a 6°F anomaly, which is pretty wild, but that’s about the only excitement. The swell’s tiny, the wind’s mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the scores are all zeros except for one morning that’s barely surfable.

We kick off Monday, July 6, with a risk of thunderstorms, 2ft of weak SE swell at 5 seconds, and a cross-on breeze—messy. That sets the tone for the whole first week. Tuesday, July 7, brings a bit more ENE swell, but still only 1ft and cross-on. Wednesday, July 8, sees a small bump to 3ft from ENE, but the wind is NE 19 mph cross-on, making it lumpy. The combined energy hits 62 (moderate), but the quality’s still poor. Thursday, July 9, is back to tiny 1ft. Friday, July 10, has a morning of clean offshore WSW wind at 6 mph, but the swell is only 0.7ft from ESE with a 10-second period—so weak you’d be bobbing. Saturday, July 11, and Sunday, July 12, stay tiny with clean but no power.

Now, Monday, July 13, shows a jump: 3ft of E swell at 6 seconds, combined energy 122 (moderate), but the wind is NE 19 mph cross-on, making it messy and lumpy. That’s too big for beginners anyway, and the wind’s howlin’. Definitely not a stand-out. Tuesday, July 14, fades back to 2ft with onshore wind.

Then finally, on Wednesday, July 15, we get a brief window: morning has a light offshore W wind at 6 mph, clean conditions, and 2ft of S swell at 6 seconds. The combined energy is only 45 (weak), but it’s the only time the notes say “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Still, it’s small and weak, not a real session. After that, the rest of the week is more tiny, glassy mornings but no swell to speak of. Thursday, July 16, afternoon goes glassy with 2ft. Friday, July 17, builds a bit of SSE swell to 2ft at 9 seconds, but wind’s cross-on. Saturday, July 18, glassy again but only 1ft. Sunday, July 19, same story. Monday, July 20, onshore wind picks up. Tuesday, July 21, has a strong N wind at 28 mph cross-shore, making a mess of 2ft.

So, the whole 16-day window is a blank run. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a rare dry spell. Could change, forecasts shift, but right now there’s nothing to get excited about. If you’re a beginner, even the 2ft days are too small to learn on. The only positive is that the water’s warm. Otherwise, leave the board at home.

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.

Rehoboth Main is 41 km (25 miles) from Ocean City. If you plan a vacation in Delaware, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ocean City. Ocean City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
