The Lowdown
Alright, let me give it to you in feet and miles.
For Delray Beach, the outlook is a total bummer for the next 16 days. It’s flat, and I mean properly flat for a long stretch. There’s a big gap of days with absolutely nothing to recommend, so don’t get your hopes up. These blank runs happen around here, and this is one of them.
Starting off on Tuesday, September 1st, the water temp is around 87°, which is just average for the season. The only tiny blips in the forecast are laughably small. The strongest of these weak pulses is on Wednesday morning the 2nd, with a combined swell energy of only 55 – that’s weak stuff. The swell is a tiny 1ft from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s going to be chopped up.
The best you could hope for is on Saturday morning, September 12th. It will be glassy, but on a poor 1ft NE swell with a short period of 7 seconds. Energy is only 33. It’ll be clean as a whistle but there’s nothing to ride. The same goes for the morning of the 11th – glassy, but the swell is only 0.7ft and the energy is 16. Zero push.
Even the late glassy session on the 16th, Wednesday morning, only shows a 2ft swell with a period of 4 seconds and an energy of 15. That’s barely a ripple.
So, looking at the whole 16 days, there are no standouts. The swell energy never hits triple digits, the wind is almost always messy or onshore, and when the wind lays down, the swell completely disappears. If the wind gets favorable on one of those tiny days, you might get a knee-high slop, but I wouldn’t count on it. It’s a classic empty run for the area.

Information about the Delray Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Delray Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Delray Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Delray Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Delray Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Delray Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
