UPDATED: SEPT 6, 2026 — Tracking some chances for a small swell to make its way down mid week. There will be a quick fetch of stronger winds that form off the Carolinas behind a stalled front. The chances looked better a couple days ago when that fetch had more north in it, now it's mostly east but it should be enough to send a small swell down. It's not 100% though so we could still get skunked. Timing is wednesday afternoon to Thursday morning. It's just going to be a quick shot so it's also possible it comes in overnight which would be cruel.
The Treasure coast will be the best bet, Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. There could be a trickle making it down into northern PBC. There's also a big low over Nova Scotia right now that has some fetch that could send some occasional longer period energy down around the same time, although that doesn't look too significant.
Daily surf forecast for the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast:
MONDAY-TUESDAY07-08: Mainly flat for Labor day. Light offshore wind.
WEDNESDAY09: Flat early but maybe a small wave building at the end of the day. Low tide around 1pm so with the incoming tide that should help. Upcoast will start to see some waist high swell moving in in the afternoon. Wind SE 5-10kts.
THURSDAY10: Maybe a small wave northern PBC. Treasure coast though should see at least a waist high swell in the morning, although it'll be fighting the high tide at 8am. On the cleaner side in the morning with a light wind then onshore seabreeze in the afternoon. Swell will fade some late.
FRIDAY11: Flat for PBC, knee high+ leftovers upcoaost. Wind S 5-10kts.
WEEKEND: Maybe some small windchop but chances are low right now.
LONG RANGE FORECAST: We are heading into the peak of hurricane season and surprisingly there's still nothing on the radar for the next couple weeks. Seeing some signs that tropics will start to wake up again around the second half of September and maybe also October when cold fronts stall and we possibly see home grown activity from that. 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.
