The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Just a heads up, we're looking at a pretty quiet stretch for the next couple of weeks here in Delray Beach.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bummer, to be honest. There’s really nothing worth paddling out for right from the start. For the first solid two and a half weeks, from Saturday the 29th of August right through to the morning of Friday the 11th of September, it's just a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, the winds are messy, and every report is calling it poor. You’d be better off taking the dog for a walk.
Then, finally, on the morning of Friday the 11th of September, we get a tiny window. It's still not great, but it's the only thing we've got. Delray Public Beach might just about have a 2ft northeast swell, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is dead calm and glassy, which is the only saving grace, making the water look like a mirror. The combined energy is a low 54, so there's barely any push. It's surfable but very ordinary, just a little ankle-slapper. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal, sitting around 87°, but that's small comfort with nothing to ride.
After that brief flash, it's right back to the doldrums. The rest of the weekend and following week look characteristically poor again, with lots of onshore wind and tiny waves. There's not a single standout session in this entire forecast. Sometimes you just have to accept the flat spell and wait for the next system to get things moving again. The forecasts can always change, but for now, leave the board in the shed.
Rusty.

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.
