Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you. For the next 16 days, there’s not a single session that’s worth getting excited about. The surf is flat, the energy is weak, and we’re looking at a real dry spell.
The first few days cover the 12th to the 14th of July. Small, weak swell from the east-southeast around 3ft to 3ft with a short, choppy period of 5 to 6 seconds. The combined energy is barely a whisper (41 to 62). Wind is on it or cross-on, making things messy. Not a wave worth paddling for.
Then from the 15th through the 27th, it’s a real grind. Swell heights barely touch 1ft most days, with the occasional bump to 4ft on the 20th, but even then the period is a short 5 seconds and the combined energy is still low (91). The wind flips around, but it’s mostly cross-off or light, which would be great if there was any actual swell to ride. Instead, it’s clean but flat.
Rehoboth Main (Rehoboth-Main) is the only break on offer. It’s a beginner spot, exposed to the east, but it’s always crowded and the waves are just not there. The water temp is about 74°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
There’s a long gap here with no real recommendations. We’re talking well over a week of nothing. It’s one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area when the swell just doesn’t line up. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board in the car. If you’re desperate, the setup on the 20th with that 4ft south swell and cross-off wind might look more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Rehoboth Main can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
