The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me break down what’s cookin' in imperial for y'all.
Honestly, this is a tough one to be a surfer for. The next couple of weeks look like a real desert. There’s a massive gap at the start with no real surf to speak of at all. We’re talking days of tiny, weak energy – the combined wave energy numbers are all in the weak range, barely cracking 50 or 60. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, so it’s just choppy and small. Real small.
The first time we might see something that’s not a total write-off is on Saturday, August 1st, at Rehoboth Main. The morning shows a little 2ft easterly swell with a 7-second period – that’s local windswell, not groundswell. But the wind goes light cross-offshore from the SSW, which cleans the surface right up. The water temp is about 76°, which is normal for the season. Not a standout, but it’s the best option in a poor lineup.
After that, it’s more of the same. The next little glimmer comes on Tuesday, August 4th, in the afternoon. The wind goes glassy – a light NNW breeze – and we’ve got a 2ft swell from the SE. The energy is still low, but glassy is glassy, and you can’t beat that for a clean, tiny wave. Wednesday, August 5th, also has a clean morning with a couple of tiny, weak waves.
No real standouts here. No big swell, no consistency, and the crowds at Rehoboth Main are always a factor. This is a lean period, plain and simple. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye out, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
