The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the surf outlook for Delray Public Beach. We're looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead, so keep your expectations in check.
Right now, and for the vast majority of the next 16 days, it's a total bust. The first solid week is a write-off. From Thursday the 3rd all the way through to Tuesday the 8th of September, the swell is tiny and messy, with heights barely reaching 2 ft. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, keeping things choppy and poor. There's a small window of hope on Monday the 7th morning, with a glassy surface and a light offshore breeze, but with only 0.7 ft of swell, you're just floating, not surfing. The water is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We finally see a pulse of something on Wednesday the 9th of September. The swell bumps up to 3 ft to 3 ft from the NE, with a period of 8-10 seconds. The combined energy hits 203 (moderate), which is the most we've seen all period. But here's the kicker: the wind is a cross-onshore breeze from the ENE at 9 mph, so it won't be clean. The break is a beach, and with the onshore push, it's going to be a sloppy, choppy mess. It's not a standout, but it's the only thing on the board.
This pulse fades quickly. By Thursday the 10th, the energy drops to 128 and the swell is down to 3 ft, with the wind picking up to a moderate 12 mph cross-onshore. The rest of the run from the 11th of September onward is just more of the same: small, weak swell with persistent cross-onshore winds keeping things poor. The combined energy values are mostly in the two-digit range (weak), and the few that hit three digits (100-203) are still paired with bad wind. There's a big gap of nothing from the 11th through to the 17th, with only tiny, energy-less waves and moderate wind.
For this spot, a blank run like this is pretty normal. Don't hold your breath. The best I can say is to keep an eye on that Wednesday the 9th, but it's a long shot for anything decent.
