Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the next sixteen days are looking pretty quiet. We've got a long stretch of small, weak energy coming in. The first real chance for a wave won't be until the 11th of July, and even then, it's a slow start. The overall pattern is one of tiny swells and cross-to-onshore winds, so we're mostly looking at small, choppy conditions. There's a long gap here with no real standouts, but keep an eye on the very end of the period.
Delray Beach is the only break on the radar, and it's a fairly consistent spot, but the swell just isn't showing up. The water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is about average for this time of year, so a pleasant dip but not much push.
The first few days, from the 11th through to the 24th of July, are a write-off. We're looking at tiny waves—0.7ft to 2ft at best—with a mix of SE and ESE winds. The swell energy is weak, mostly in the teens and low twenties (17 to 42), and the periods are short, under 8 seconds. It's all cross-on or onshore wind, creating choppy, bumpy conditions. There's a brief moment on the morning of the 17th of July when the wind goes glassy with a SW breeze, but the swell is a tiny 1.0ft from the NE. It's flat, but it would be clean flat. The same happens on the morning of the 25th of July—another glassy morning with a 3ft ESE swell, but again, it's small and weak (42 energy). Saturday the 26th of July morning looks clean with offshore WSW wind and a 2ft E swell, but nothing to get excited about.
The best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 25th of July (Saturday). That 3ft swell from the ESE with glassy conditions would be the only real chance for a small, clean wave, but it's tiny. A bit of a tease, really.
For the second week, the pattern continues. The 26th of July morning offers a clean 2ft E swell with offshore breeze, but it's still small. The afternoon turns choppy again.
So, bottom line: there's nothing worth rushing out for. It's a blank run for the area, and that's pretty normal when the summer doldrums set in. The only faint glimmer is that tiny, clean window on the 25th of July morning. Keep the board waxed, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
