UPDATED: OCT 6, 2026 — Wave Rewind: Windchop picked up, waist high plus on Thursday and Friday and Saturday. Fun at times.
LOCAL SURFCAST:
This week is still looking good for another NNE swell, although it'll be smaller, the conditions will be nice. A front pushed down and stalked in north Florida, already producing some NE fetch. A weak low is forming along the front enhancing the fetch some. with the front stalling and the weak low forming, this will keep the Northeast winds into north Florida, and keep light to even offshore winds in south Florida. So that means we get the swell without the wind! Plus, since the swell is generated close by, the period won't be as long which means less closeouts and more lined up! Although again, not real big, waist high or so.
Surf Forecast from Surfnweatherman on Instagram
Daily surf forecast for the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast:
WEDNESDAY07: Building NNE swell. Small early then building waist high plus. Possible some chest high sets at some of the better spots. Staying clean most of the day but wind may clock around onshore for a brief period late in the afternoon. Wind West/NW E 5-10kts.
THURSDAY08: Mid period NNE swell at waist to chest high and mostly clean in the morning. Should be lining up good, but probably not all that big or powerful. Mostly Clean in the morning with light wind then wind turns SE 5-10kts in the afternoon putting some texture on it.
FRIDAY09: Thigh-Waist high+ NNE swell continues but fading. Clean in the morning with a light wind, then a light SE seabreeze in the afternoon will put cross texture on it. Fading through the day and getting junky with the wind. Wind West 5kts, turning SE 10kts.
SATURDAY10: NE swell fades, but SE windchop takes over. Knee/thigh high with some lingerig underlying swell. Wind picking up out of the SE 10-20kts.
SUNDAY11: Southeast windchop takes over. Knee/thigh high+. Wind SE 10-20kts.
MONDAY12: Possibly some leftover swell/chop mix. Wind ESE 10-15kts.
TUESDAY13: knee high leftovers possible.
LONG RANGE FORECAST: Southeast windchop may take over as something develops in the SW Gulf. This won't impact us but will enhance our SE windchop over the weekend. Then we look for more fronts as models are hinting at one around mid month, then more each week after as we rollinto our winter season and shut down the summer season. This winter looks to be quite active thanks to the el nino patterns that we get in the winter. Stay Tuned!
