The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta tell you, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, flat spell ahead. The first real chance of even a bump is a solid week away, so don't be holding your breath for the next few days. For the next week, it's all tiny, onshore wind junk. Not worth paddling out for. This kind of quiet run is just part of the deal around here sometimes; forecasts can always shift, but for now, we're in a waiting game.

The first time things start to look even slightly interesting is around the morning of Monday the 17th of August at Delray Public Beach. We've got a tiny 0.3ft swell from the ESE, but with a period of 8 seconds, it's just a weak windswell. The combined energy is only 22, so it's weak. The magic here is the wind: a clean offshore from the NW at just 3 mph. That will make the water look like glass. But honestly, at that size, you're on a longboard or a foamie just to catch a knee-high ripple.

After that, it's mostly back to poor conditions. There is a flash of something on the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. A very long period groundswell shows up at 15 seconds, but again it's only 0.7ft. The energy is still just 48. With a clean cross-offshore from the N at 6 mph, it would be pretty to look at, but there's no power behind it. This kind of long-period swell on a beach break like Delray can be tricky, tending to go straight, but at this size it won't matter.

The second week stays locked in the same pattern. A few slightly bigger readings pop up on the 19th and 20th, with the combined swell energy hitting 64 on the afternoon of Wednesday the 19th of August. Still, the waves are only 0.9-1ft and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. It's not going to be good. If you're desperate for a splash on a longboard, keep an eye on the morning of Friday the 21st of August when a light cross-offshore WSW breeze could clean up that tiny 0.9ft bump.

Bottom line: There are no standouts. Nothing is breaking the 3ft mark for the entire 16-day outlook. The 0.9ft on the 17th of August with the offshore wind is the only real window for a small-wave session, but it's a stretch to call it surf. This is one of those times to check the wind forecast, maybe wax up the longboard, and just enjoy a paddle if the water looks good.

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.
