*Surf forecast for the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast*
UPDATED: January 15, 2025
<<WAVE REWIND<<
We had some fun waves pick up on Monday and Tuesday. Wasn't all that big but it was punchy and fun.
SURFCAST DISCUSSION
A strong cold front moving south Thursday will bring in a burst of NW winds behind it. This should set up for a decent chance at some refraction action on Friday. There may be some trace/small swell at the end of Thursday but the main refraction swell will arrive overnight(1am-ish) and peak around daybreak. It looks like a classic set up, although the wind dies down pretty quickly. I still give it a high chance. I could make it farther south too, but I'm thinking less chance now. It will be cold for sure, so throw that wetsuit in the car. Temps will be in the 40s with wind chills in the 30s Friday morning. A reinforcing front will push through Sunday bringing another chance for refraction/ or North windswell on Monday. This time winds will be more north and turn quickly Monday so maybe just some drifty windswell. It may hang around a few days next week.
DAILY SURFCAST SPECIFICS:
THURSDAY15: Flat early but a small chance the refraction swell will build in by sunset. Wind WNW 25kts.
FRIDAY16: A chest-head high plus refraction action swell, peaking in the early morning. Possibly pushing all the way south too. Winds will swing around onshore but will die down a lot. Wind NW/N 5-10kts.
SATURDAY17: Probably not much leftovers. Wind East 5-10kts.
SUNDAY18: Flat. Wind SW 10kts.
MONDAY19: Possibly more swell! If not refraction then a hard north windswell as winds turns around quickly so it won't be as clean. chest high or so and drifty too. Wind N 15-20kts.
TUESDAY20: Knee/thigh high fading N windswell. Wind : NNE 10-15kts.
WEDNESDAY21: Knee/waist+ high windhcop wave. Wind: NE 15kts.
THURSDAY22: Knee/waist high winchop wave. Wind NE 10-15kts.

LONG RANGER SURFCAST
With the faster moving pattern, we shouldn't stay flat for two long as systems will be moving through every 3/4 days or so. Even some windchop in between so at least we're looking at more consistent waves now. That should at least round out January with more consistency. February has a tendency to slow down some but I'm still seeing hints of this pattern spilling into February so hopefully we can maintain something to ride out there. Some hope so hang in there, we still have a lot of season left. Stay tuned!
