The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Gonna be honest with you, this 16-day window for Delray Public Beach is a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely any real surf on offer. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't show up until Wednesday, August 12th, so that's a solid week and a half of pretty much nothing. For an area like this, a blank run like that isn't totally out of the ordinary, but it’s still a bummer.
Starting off, from Thursday July 30th right through to Tuesday August 12th, it's all "poor surf conditions." Tiny little waves, mostly under 2 ft, with short-period junk. The wind is a problem too – mostly cross-off or cross-onshore, and often a moderate breeze. The combined energy is weak, rarely breaking 30, so there's just no power in the water. Saturday morning, August 1st, looks glassy, but with only 0.7 ft of swell, it's a lake, not a surf break. Not worth paddling out for.
Now, we finally get a little flicker of life on the morning of Wednesday, August 12th. The guidance says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." The swell ticks up to 3 ft from the NE, with a period of 11 seconds, giving it a bit more push. The combined energy climbs to 212, which is moderate. The real kicker here is the wind – it's glassy that morning. That's the only real standout in the whole period. It’ll be tiny, but clean. For a beginner, those 3 ft waves on a clean face will be perfect for learning. But don't expect any power or barrels.
The rest of the second week, from August 13th onward, the swell drops back down, and the wind turns messy again. There's nothing else to get excited about.
So, if you're desperate for a paddle, the only window is that Wednesday morning, August 12th. It's not going to be epic, but it'll be the cleanest you'll see all forecast. For the rest of it, you might as well leave the board at home.
Rusty.

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.

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.
