The Lowdown
Alright, let's get real about what's on offer for Delray Beach over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's looking flat as a pancake and pretty grim for us paddle surfers for the entire 16-day run. There's simply no good surf on the menu.
We've got a solid stretch of nothing from now right through to the end of the window. The water temp is sitting at a warm 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s working. Swell energy is pathetic, barely cracking double digits most days, and when it does get a little pulse it's all windswell with a short, weak period under 8 seconds.
Forget about getting a proper wave. The best we see is maybe 3ft on Wednesday the 9th afternoon with a combined energy of 128, but it's coming from the NNE with a direct onshore wind from the ESE at 9 mph, making for messy, blown-out conditions. The only brief moment of interest is Tuesday morning the 8th, where the wind goes glassy out of the NW. Trouble is, the swell is a measly 0.7ft from the east with a 8-second period, so you’d be lucky to find a ripple, let alone a ride.
Every day after that is a mix of cross-onshore or direct onshore wind, mostly from the SE or E, with speeds picking up to 12 mph. The swell never gets above 3ft and mostly hovers around 0.7ft to 2ft. The period is short and the combined energy is weak (mostly under 100). It’s a total write-off for a surf. Honestly, with that consistent onshore breeze and tiny chop, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing around here.
So, that’s the sorry truth. No standouts, no hope in the short term, and the long-range shows nothing to get excited about either. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.

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.
