UPDATED: NOV 12, 2026 — Wave Rewind: Fun small swell for the longer boards the past few days. Nice, lined up and on the cleaner side.
LOCAL SURFCAST:
A strong cold front will move through Friday and the northwest wind will pick up giving us our first chance for some refraction swell. Chances are dropping however as the trend hasn't been our friend. The NW winds aren't as strong and don't last as long, so I've lowered chances to low. There's still a chance though. It's going to turn chilly though, so you may need to dust off the wetsuit or topper.
After the weekend the onshore winds will pick up and the windchop picks up making at least some rideable, but messy, surf all of next week.
Daily surf forecast for the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast:
FRIDAY13: Minimal. Wind NW 15kts.
SATURDAY14: Still a small possibility for a refraction swell to fill in at some point. Probably not more than waist high. Wind NW turning North 15-20kts.
SUNDAY15: Windchop may start to build, knee/thigh high. Wind ENE 15kts.
MONDAY16: Windchop picks up to waist high. Wind ENE 15-20kts.
TUESDAY17: Windchop picks up more, waist to chest high. Wind ENE 20kts.
WEDNESDAY18: Windchop may back off a bit temporarily, around waist high. ENE 10-12kts.
THURSDAY19: Wind starts cranking again and windchop picks up to chest/head high. Blown out. Wind NE 20-25kts.
LONG RANGE FORECAST: After this front we will see a low form in the gulf and swing south of us then into the Atlantic. It may possibly stall and spin up a little stronger which would send more waves our way, however it doesn't look like the wind will quit until Thanksgiving week. Stay tuned!
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!
