UPDATED: OCT 19, 2026 — Wave Rewind: Windchop picked up Sunday, then the swell arrived Monday and it was big and gnarly out there.
LOCAL SURFCAST:
Well we have a nice low sitting off the coast of hatteras, perfectly in our swell window. Unfortunately we also have a very strong high to our north turning our winds onshore at a pretty good clip making it near Victory at Sea Conditions. The wind may ease up a bit Wednesday and Thursday, but then another strong high builds in and blasts our winds over the weekend to near gale force again bringing back VAS conditions.
Daily surf forecast for the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast:
TUESDAY20: Choppy swell continues in the head hi to well overhead range. Wind NE 20-25kts.
WEDNESDAY21: Wind drops some, swell eases some but still stays on the large side. Chest to head high and not as choppy. Wind NNE 10-15kts.
THURSDAY22: Swell pulses a little more, wind surge moves down the coast too so staying choppy and drifty. Wind NE 15-20kts.
FRIDAY23: Longer period swell still pushing in. Wind still on it too but not too crazy. Wind NE 15-20kts.
SATURDAY24: Groundswell fades but new push of NE winds moves down the coast. Choppy and sloppy near VAS again as winds picking up to near gale force. Wind NE 25-35kts.
SUNDAY25: Blown out overhead storm surf. Overhead Victory at Sea conditons. Wind will be near gale force. Wind NE 30-40kts.
LONG RANGE FORECAST: The season is starting!. This winter looks to be quite active thanks to the el nino patterns that we get in the winter. As I mentioned before, el nino years bring a lot of swell but also bring a lot of wind with them. We can hope for quick clean ups once the pattern starts moving quickly. Stay Tuned!
