Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Tower Road over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – it’s a long, quiet stretch ahead. We’re looking at a blank run for the entire 16-day window. There’s no surf worth paddlin’ out for from now through to the end of the period. The energy just isn’t there, and what little swell tries to show up gets chopped up or blown out.
The first real chance for a wave doesn’t appear until Thursday the 16th of July. Even then, it’s barely a bump. We’re talkin’ a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE with a weak period. The combined swell energy is only 53 (just a whisper of energy). On the plus side, Thursday afternoon sees a moderate offshore breeze from the WSW – that’ll clean things right up. But the wave quality is still just “poor surf conditions” across the board. For a beginner at Tower Rock (a sandbar), this is the absolute best we’ve got, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.
Before that, Tuesday the 21st of July shows a tiny spike with a 3ft swell from the East, but the wind is howling cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. The energy is still weak at 68.
Honestly, if you’re determined to get wet, keep an eye on the forecast. It tends not to stay flat forever. But as it stands, this is a 16-day flat spell. Don’t bother waxin’ the board just yet.
Rusty.

Information about the Tower Road Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tower Road provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tower Road can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tower Road 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 (Tower Road) 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 Tower Road 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.
Tower Road is 37 km (23 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.
