The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. The outlook for Delray Public Beach is a tough one. We're looking at a full 16-day window, and honestly, there's not a single good session on the cards. The whole run is a write-off.
The water temp is sitting right around 86°, which is pretty much bang on average for late July, so at least the water feels good. But that's about the only positive.
From Friday morning, the 24th of July, right through to the end of the window on Saturday, the 8th of August, it's all "poor surf conditions". The swell is tiny, never getting above 3 ft, and even that's a weak, short-period windswell. The combined wave energy is pathetic – we're talking values like 38 (Friday morning), 33 (Saturday), and then it just drops off into the single digits for days on end. The best energy on offer is a measly 38 on the 24th, and that's with a stormy, onshore wind. It's a flat spell.
The wind does go offshore a couple of times – like on Saturday morning, the 1st of August, with a clean 1 ft from the SE, and a few other morning windows. But the swell is so small and weak (energy at 16) that it's barely a ripple. It's not surfable, just clean.
For a beginner spot that's fairly consistent, this is a rare blank run. It just doesn't stay this poor for long around here, but for now, there's nothing to get excited about. The setup is a beach, and with the onshore winds and poor quality, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the few days when there's any wind.
No standouts here, folks. Leave the boards in the car.
Rusty.
