The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be real – Rehoboth Main isn’t offering any decent surf over the next couple weeks. The first few days are flat as a pancake: Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th have ankle‑biters at 0.7 ft, and even when it’s glassy on Thursday the 16th, it’s still 0.7 ft. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.
There’s a tiny pulse on Sunday the 19th – morning brings 2.3 ft with a solid offshore wind from the WNW at 16 mph, and afternoon sees 2.6 ft with lighter offshore breeze. It’s surfable but nothing special, scoring only a 1 out of 10. The combined energy is weak – 48 and 62 (moderate). If you’re a beginner and desperate, that’s your best shot.
After that, it’s mostly junk. Thursday the 23rd sees a bump to 5.6 ft in the morning and 5.9 ft in the afternoon with cross‑off winds, but the wave comment still says “poor surf conditions” and a score of 0. The period is short at
