The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Delray Public Beach. Honest truth? It’s a quiet stretch ahead. The first real surfable pulse doesn’t show up until the end of the first week, so there’s a bit of a gap to get through. Don’t get your hopes up for the first few days—it’s going to be a waiting game.

From Wednesday, July 29, right through to Thursday, August 6, we’re looking at flat to tiny, weak conditions. Swell heights are mostly below 2 ft, with periods under 8 seconds or just plain poor energy. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross-on, but it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing to ride. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting in the single digits to low double digits (9 to 95). It’s a real bummer, but it is what it is.

The first sign of life pops up on Friday, August 7. The morning shows a pulse of 4 ft swell from the NE with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a groundswell, and combined energy jumps to 336—moderate. The wind is cross-on from the ENE at 12 mph, so it’ll be a bit choppy, but this is the best we’ve seen so far. The afternoon drops to 5 ft from the SE, but the period tanks to 5 seconds and energy drops to 219. Still, Friday morning is the standout.

Saturday, August 8, holds some size: 4 ft in the morning from the SE (6 sec period, energy 131), with a cross-shore breeze. It’s not perfect, but it’s rideable. Afternoon gets messier with cross-on wind.

After that, the swell backs off again. From Sunday, August 9, through to Wednesday, August 13, we’re back to small, weak surf—under 4 ft, mostly short period, energy dropping into the 30s and 40s. Winds are a mix of onshore and cross-on, so expect bumpy, weak waves.

The one true standout here? Friday, August 7, morning. That 4 ft NE groundswell (10 sec period) is the only real pulse of the whole outlook. It’s not huge, but after a week of nothing, it’ll feel like a gift. Expect some crowds—Delray is sometimes busy, and this will be the best window. The water temperature is around 86°F, which is about 1°F warmer than average for this time of year—not a huge anomaly, just a touch warm.

If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets over 5 ft, so it’s safe for learning. The short-period stuff after Friday won’t hold much shape, but the Friday morning window has enough period to get a decent ride.

For the rest of the run? Keep the board waxed and wait for the next pulse. It’s a quiet couple of weeks, but the forecasts can always change.

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. If you surf the same spot (Delray Public Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
