The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real about this stretch of water. The short version is, we’re looking at a pretty flat run for the next 16 days. There's no real swell to speak of, and the forecast is a long, slow, quiet one.
Kicking off at Delray Public Beach, the first few days are a total washout. The water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is about average for the time of year, so you won't need a thick suit, but you won't need a board either. On Friday the 31st, we’ve got a tiny 0.33 ft pulse from the NE with a 10-second period, but the wave energy is barely a whisper at 6. That’s not surf, that’s a lake ripple. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd are messy with onshore winds, and the swell stays tiny, never cracking 3 ft. The period is a pitiful 4 seconds, which is just wind chop.
The following week doesn't get any better. From Monday the 3rd right through to the end of the forecast on Saturday the 15th, we’re stuck with ankle-to-knee high dribble. The swell height rarely gets above 3 ft, and the period is usually a short 4 or 5 seconds. The combined energy values are all in the teens or thirties, which is weak. There’s a few moments where the wind goes light or offshore, like Monday afternoon the 3rd with a WNW offshore, but with only 3 ft of 4-second slop, it’s just clean junk. Even the 57 units of energy on Friday the 7th is from a weak NE swell, not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, there’s no standout. Not a single day offers a wave worth paddling for. This is a classic case of “don’t bother.” The entire 16-day window is a gap with no real surf. If you’re a kiter, some of those afternoons with 12 mph cross-onshore winds and a bit of chop might be fun, but for a surfer? Put the board in the garage. This kind of long, flat spell is normal for this setup, but it’s still a bummer. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total blank.
Rusty.
