The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight about Delray Beach. We're looking at a whole lot of nothing for the next stretch. From now through the weekend and into next week, it's flat. Barely a ripple. You're talking about a solid week and a half of no surf to speak of. Might as well bring a book.
The first tease of any real swell shows up on Monday, September 21st. We've got 5ft of swell with moderate energy (330). But the wind is howling at 19-22 mph from the ENE, and it's cross-on. It's going to be a bumpy, lumpy, onshore jumble. That's not surfing, that's a battle. Maybe check the kite forecast.
Tuesday the 22nd calms down a touch. Swell backs off to 3ft, energy at 179, but it's still that cross-on ENE wind. It might be a little more manageable for the longboard crew, but it's still not clean. You're scratching for anything.
But the real story, the only standout in this whole dumpster fire, is on Wednesday, September 23rd. The models are showing a serious pulse: 12ft of swell from the SE with a massive energy reading at 1371. Now, that's a real swell. But hold your horses. At that size on a beach break, it's going to be a heavy, unforgiving close-out lagoon. This is strictly for the experts. The wind will be cross-on from the ENE at 12 mph, so it won't be perfect, but the power will be undeniable. It's a looker, but you need to be confident in your abilities. Check the tides, and if you're not ready for that kind of size, stay on the sand.
One more thing, the water is currently a balmy 87°, which is about 3° warmer than usual. It's warm, it's tropical, but sadly, there's no swell to go with it. Keep an eye on the 23rd, but be smart.
Rusty out.
