Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat this one. The next two weeks at Delray Public Beach are flat as a pancake. Let’s break it down.

The water temp is about 86°, just a touch warmer than average, but that’s the only highlight. The wave energy is weak, barely getting into double digits most days – we’re talking combined swell energy of just 12 early on, and the "biggest" day only reaches 45 in the second week. That’s nothin’ to paddle for.

From Tuesday July 7th all the way through Saturday July 18th, it’s a long dry spell. Most days see a tiny 0.7ft to 3ft swell with short periods of 4 to 8 seconds, so no push. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the SE and ESE, making the water choppy. There’s one clean morning on Monday the 13th with offshore wind from the WNW, but the swell is only 0.7ft with 8-second period and 12 energy – glassy but too small to ride. For a beginner break that’s usually fairly consistent, this is rough. If you’re into kite surfing, those moderate onshore winds might be fun, but for paddle surfers, it’s a bust.

Finally, around Friday July 17th and Saturday the 18th, we get the best of a bad lot. On Friday morning, a 3ft swell from the SE with a 4-second period shows up, combined energy 34, with a light cross-onshore breeze from the SSE. Saturday morning is a touch cleaner with a light cross-shore from the SSW and the same 3ft swell, pushing energy up to 45 – the highest of the whole outlook. Still, that short period means weak, mushy waves. For a beginner spot, it’s the closest thing we have to a standout, but it’s not worth planning a session around.

After that, it’s back to tiny 0.7ft to 1ft junk with onshore wind through the end of the outlook.

Bottom line: there’s no real surf for 16 days. Delray just isn’t cooperating. A blank run like this is normal for this area when the weather patterns are stubborn. Forecasts can change, but right now, all we’ve got is warm water and a whole lot of nothin’.

Rusty.

Information about the Delray Public Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Delray Public 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 Public Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Delray Public 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 Public 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 Public 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.

Delray Public Beach is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Delray Beach. If you plan a vacation in South Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Delray Beach. Delray Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
