UPDATED: SEPT 18, 2026 — Wave Rewind: Swell mix picked up Thursday, some punch lines out there. Died out pretty quickly but there were some cleaner leftovers on Friday.
Daily surf forecast for the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast:
WEEKEND19-20: Maybe a lingering bump leftover at the magnet spots Saturday upcoast before fading off and going flat on Sunday. Wind ESE 10kts.
MONDAY21: Flat.
TUESDAY22: Small building NE swell possible. Knee high. Wind light and variable.
WEDNESDAY23: Flat.
THURSDAY24: Possibly some small longer period energy making it down. Wind NE 10kts.
FRIDAY25: Building longer period NE swell. Size could be chest/shoulder+, still low confidence right now though.
LONG RANGE FORECAST: The NHC is highlighting an area way out in the NE Atlantic now. It will most likely stay weak and won't really send us anything. The favored area for end of September and October so we will need to watch for stuff that may pop up in the gulf and the nearshore Atlantic waters to round out the season. I think eventually there will be a last gasp pulse of activity in the gulf and/or the Bahamas to Bermuda area to end the season. It'll probably be more of the home grown-type activity in the gulf, or near the Bahamas as fronts come down and stall at the end of September and in October. El nino along with Saharan dust really did its thing on the season this year. The good news is we should make up for it over the winter where it will be much more active. Storm after storm in the heart of winter will keep waves going all season. It just may have a lot of VAS chop conditions that go with it too. Stay tuned.
