The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Delray. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet spell. We’re looking at a big stretch of tiny, weak surf right through the next couple of weeks. For a beginner-friendly spot like Delray Public Beach, which usually picks up easterly swell, we just aren't getting anything.
Right from the start, Tuesday morning (July 14th) is flat. A tiny 0.7ft of ESE swell with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is a weak (12). The wind is 6 mph from the southeast, light cross-onshore – just little wind ripples. The water is warm, about 86°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. But the call is “poor surf conditions” and we stick with that.
Nothing improves through the week or the next. On Thursday morning (July 16th), we get a glassy, calm wind moment – real clean, which is a big positive – but the swell is a tiny 1ft from the NE with a 7-second period and combined energy of (19). There's just no power there. Saturday the 18th has the biggest swell of the whole run at 2ft from the SSE, but it's a 4-second wind swell with poor energy (14). The wind is 12 mph cross-onshore, making it choppy.
We roll through a long gap of weak, onshore slop. There's a bump in period on Friday, July 24th – a 0.7ft NE swell with a 16-second period and energy of (33). But the size is flat, direction is poor, and the wind is onshore. Even with that long period, it's nothing.
The whole 16-day window is a bust. There's no standout day, no standout session. For Delray, it's just a blank run. It happens here sometimes. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the stick at home. This run is going to test your patience.
