The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Delray Public Beach.
To be straight with you, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing much. Through the end of August and into the first couple days of September, we’re looking at poor surf—just tiny, messy leftovers. You’re seeing swell heights barely bumping above 1 ft, with short-period, weak energy (7 to 37 units of energy). Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the east-southeast, so it’s choppy and uninviting. Don’t be fooled by a couple of small windows on the 31st morning—still pretty limp.
That flat spell holds right through the 1st and 2nd of September. The swell direction starts flicking to the east, but we’re still stuck with gutless little numbers. That early September period is a write-off for a proper wave.
Now, the glimmer comes on the morning of Thursday, 5th September. We’ve got an offshore wind from the west, which cleans things right up. Swell is only 2 ft from the northeast, period around 13 seconds (that’s the good stuff—longer period, more shape), and the combined energy is climbing to 97 (moderate energy). It’s small but, for Delray, that might just be the stand-out session in the whole run. Very ordinary overall but at least it’s clean.
The very best bet? That Friday 5th morning. Northeast groundswell, only 2 ft, but period is 13 seconds and the wind is offshore—light breeze from the west. That’s your classic “small but clean and lined up” window. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so if you want it to yourself, be early.
After that, it fades again. The 7th shows a glassy Monday morning with 3 ft from the north-northeast and 96 energy units (knocking on moderate), but the wave comment just says “surfable but ordinary.” That’s as good as it gets for the second week. After that, it’s back to cross-off winds and tiny swell.
Bottom line: We’ve got a lot of dead days until that offshore window on the 5th morning, and maybe a glimmer on the 7th. If you’re desperate for a paddle, hit that Friday 5th at first light. Otherwise, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
