The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the next 16 days for Delray Public Beach. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a rough run. There’s a massive gap with basically nothing going on. The first real shot of surf doesn’t show up until the 26th of August, so that’s a solid two weeks of flat, weak, and mostly messy water. It’s going to be a quiet time for anyone wanting to paddle out.
From Tuesday the 11th all the way through the morning of the 26th, the swell is tiny. We’re talking waves mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft, with a short, weak period of 4 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is in the dumps, in the single digits to low teens, which is basically no wave energy at all. The wind is a headache too – mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the ESE and SE, making it choppy and ugly. There’s a clean moment on the morning of the 17th and the 20th with a cross-off or glassy wind, but with no swell, it’s just a flat, clean lake. Not worth it.
Around the 15th, we get a bump to about 3ft, but the period is still short (5 seconds) and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s just a lumpy, crumbly mess. The energy finally climbs a bit on the 19th with a 9-second period and a glassy calm morning, hitting a combined energy of 40, but the swell height is still only 1ft. It’s the best looking flat spell, but it’s still flat.
Then, finally, on the morning of Wednesday the 26th of August, we get something real. A new swell from the NNE at 4ft, with a 9-second period. The combined energy jumps to 219 (moderate energy), which is a real wake-up call after all that nothing. The wind is light from the SW, going glassy, so the surface will be clean. This is the one. It’s not a monster, but it’s the only surfable option we’ve got. The afternoon brings some rain and a cross-on wind, so you’ll want to be on it early. The water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
So here’s the deal: you’ve got a two-week flat spell, then a single morning window on the 26th that looks clean and rideable. It’s not a classic, but it’s all we’ve got. Don’t hold your breath, but keep an eye on that last Wednesday.
Rusty.
