The Lowdown
Alright surfers, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
Well, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for the Delray Public Beach area is pretty flat. We’re looking at a long stretch with next to no surfable energy, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board. The first real opportunity to paddle out is a long way off, with a gap of about a week before we see anything with a pulse.
Starting off, from Saturday, August 29 right through the first week of September, it’s a dead zone. Swell heights are barely topping 3 ft, but the real killer is the short, weak period – mostly around 4-8 seconds. The combined wave energy is very weak (values like 22, 31, 18), and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore from the east almost every day, messing up what little bump there is. You’ll see “poor surf conditions” on every report. It’s basically a lake.
Things stay poor through the start of the second week. Monday, September 7, shows a morning glass-off with light northwesterly wind and a tiny 0.7 ft swell – clean but completely flat. Not worth the paddle. Tuesday the 8th offers a clean, cross-off wind in the morning from the NNW, but again, the swell is only 0.7 ft.
The only glimmer on the horizon comes on Sunday, September 13. The morning looks glassy with a light SSW breeze, and the swell ticks up slightly to 1 ft from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy creeps up to 33 – still weak, but it’s the best we get. That tiny bit of groundswell might push a few knee-high peelers on a friendly board, but it’s not going to get anyone excited.
Overall, this is a big blank run for Delray Public Beach. For a fairly consistent spot, it’s a rare flat spell. Usually it doesn’t stay this poor for long, and the forecasts can change, but for now, I’d say leave the stick at home and go do something else. If you’re desperate for a slide, maybe dust off the longboard for that Sunday, September 13 morning session – it’s your only chance for a clean, glassy paddle, even if the waves are barely there.
Rusty.

Information about the Delray Public Beach Surf forecast
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. Our Delray Public Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

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.
