*Surf forecast for the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast*
UPDATED: January 29, 2025
<<WAVE REWIND<<
Swell punched down Tuesday. Looks like the focus was south county where sets were well overhead. It got a little choppy in the afternoon as the wind turned more north but stayed pretty solid. Faded fast on Wednesday.
SURFCAST DISCUSSION
Then awaiting a strong cold front pushing south Saturday that will really crank up the NW winds and bring a solid refraction swell Sunday and Monday. This could be one like we haven't seen in a while. Impossible to tell which spot will be best but the usual spots should light up. Since the wind stays strong through Monday, the swell will stick around through Monday also. As a bonus, models have now swept back to the low staying far enough offshore so send some longer period true groundswell Monday through Wednesday. Still some uncertainty there but it does look like we will see a streak of good waves. Sunday morning will be quite chilly with temps possibly near freezing in some spots, and the wind cranking at about 30kts will have the wind chill pretty low too.
Monday morning looks just as cold with only a little less wind. Both afternoons will only warm into the 50s. Definitely need the wetsuits! I'm thinking this one will push all the way down and be pretty solid for down south too.
DAILY SURFCAST SPECIFICS:
FRIDAY30: Knee high or less. Wind West 10kts.
SATURDAY31: Minimal. Wind WSW to WNW 15-30kts.
SUNDAY01: Refraction action alert! We will see some building solid refraction swell. This will push all the way south at some point. Chest to head high+. Wind will be ripping and it will be COLD! but it may be pumping at the right spots. Wind NW 25-35kts.
MONDAY02: Building true long period groundswell energy pulsing in. getting BIG at most spots. Well overhead. Still a stiff offshore wind with lots of sprayback and drift making it pretty taxing. Wind NW 15-20kts.
TUESDAY03: Swell eases some but still stays pretty solid in the head high range. Cleaner with a lighter wind but it may come onshore in the afternoon. Wind : NW/NE 10kts.
WEDNESDAY04: Waist-chest high continued NNE swell(if the low stays offshore) Wind comes onshore but stays light. Wind: East 10kts.
THURSDAY205: Maybe a clean little leftover wave still coming in but in general it'll be fading. Wind WSW 10kts.

LONG RANGER SURFCAST
The future is still looking bright with this progressive, active pattern. There will still be frequent cold fronts and an occasional low moving off the coast through at least mid February, maybe even into March. Stay tuned!
