The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a tough stretch for paddlers. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with no real standouts. The first surfable day isn’t until Friday, August 1st, and even then it’s pretty marginal. The whole period is dominated by small, weak swell and often onshore or cross-onshore winds, which means a lot of choppy, messy conditions.
The only spot in the frame is Delray Public Beach. It’s a beginner-friendly beach break that’s fairly consistent, but it’s only fairly exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about normal for this time of year.
From Friday, July 31st, through the whole first week of August, we’re looking at tiny waves. On Friday afternoon, it’s only 1 ft of SE swell with a short period of 6 seconds, combined energy is a weak 13. The wind is cross, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. The next few days stay small – Saturday morning shows 0.7 ft, and Sunday has 3 ft but with a 4-second period and cross-onshore winds at 12-16 mph making it choppy. The combined energy never gets above 31.
The second week doesn’t bring much relief. Around August 6th and 7th, we see a slight bump to 3 ft from the ESE with period still only 5 seconds, and the energy hits 61. But the wind is onshore, so it’s going to be messy. The best chance for a clean session might be Tuesday morning, August 5th, where we see glassy conditions with a tiny 1 ft swell from the ESE. It’s not going to be a day for riding waves, but it’ll be pretty.
Into the second week, the swell stays small. By August 12th, we get a long-period swell creeping in from the NE at 12 seconds, but it’s only 1 ft. The energy is 80 – moderate, but the waves are just too small to do anything with. The period is long, so it’s got some push, but at a beach break it’s likely to be too straight and fat.
Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The wind is mostly onshore, the swell is tiny, and the quality is poor across the board. The combined energy values are all two-digit numbers, meaning weak energy. If you’ve got a kiteboard, the onshore wind and gutless surf might be more interesting than a paddle. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Delray Public Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
