The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real here. I’m looking at the next 16 days, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch for surf around here. The only break we’ve got on the radar is Delray Public Beach, and based on what’s coming, you’re gonna be waiting a long time for anything worth paddling out for.
Right now, there’s no usable surf on offer. The forecast kicks off with a long dry spell. From Tuesday the 1st right through to Tuesday the 15th of September, it’s all tiny, weak, and mostly onshore junk. We’re talking about a solid two-week gap where the waves are just not happening. The energy is way down, mostly in the single digits to low 50s in the combined swell energy department, and the swell heights are barely scraping 3 ft, with periods that are short and gutless. The wind is a mess too – mostly cross-onshore or onshore, with a lot of stormy weather early on.
The water temp is sitting at 87°F, which is about 2°F above normal for this time of year. Nothing too wild, just a touch warmer than usual.
The only glimmer, and I mean a tiny glimmer, comes right at the very end of the forecast. On the morning of Wednesday, the 16th of September, we might see a brief moment of hope. The wind will be glassy from the NNW, and there’s a 2 ft swell from the east, but it’s got a period of only 4 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not real groundswell. The combined energy is a weak 15. It’s still marked as “poor surf conditions,” so don’t get your hopes up. It’s the only time in the entire 16 days where the wind is clean, but the swell is just too small and weak to do anything with.
So, the honest truth? There are no standout days. No best on offer. This is a flat spell. If you’re desperate, that Wednesday morning might be worth a look for a longboard or a SUP, but it’s not gonna be anything to write home about. For a beginner spot like Delray, this is just the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
