*Surf forecast for the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast*
UPDATED: January 13, 2025
<<WAVE REWIND<<
We had some fun waves pick up on Monday. Wasn't all that big but it was punchy and fun.
SURFCAST DISCUSSION
Some lingering moderate NE winds as the front stalls just to the south will keep some wave in the water on Tuesday, then going Flat for Wednesday and Thursday. With a more progressive/faster pattern now though, we will get another front on Thursday. This one will be much stronger with much colder air and strong northwest winds behind it. This should set up for a decent chance at some refraction action on Friday(maybe even late Thursday). There are still some model differences but it looks like they are now homing in on a solution, and chances do look pretty decent with a classic set up expected. West winds will start to crank up early Thursday morning after some rain moves through, then the front will turn winds NW and crank them all night which looks like a pretty good solution for some refraction swell. The strength of the wind is pretty decent too, which could mean the magic will show up down south and hopefully spots in between. It will be cold though, 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 on Monday.
DAILY SURFCAST SPECIFICS:
TUESDAY13: Knee/Waist high fading NE windchop wave. Wind : E 10-15kts.
WEDNESDAY14: Back to flat. Wind: SE 5-10kts.
THURSDAY15: Flat early but a chance the refraction swell will build in by sunset. Wind WNW 25kts.
FRIDAY16: Possibly a chest-head high plus refraction action swell, Possibly pushing all the way south. Winds will swing around onshore but may go real light. Wind NW 5-10kts.
SATURDAY17: Knee/waist high leftover. Clean am/semi choppy pm. Wind W/NE 10kts.
SUNDAY18: Going flat. Wind picking up NW behind a reinforcing front.
MONDAY19: Possibly more refraction action! Chances medium right now. Not as strong or as long as the last blast. Wind NW 20kts.

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!
