The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’ve got a full 16-day window ahead, but it’s leaner than a board after a wax job. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until the 5th of September, so we’re starting with a gap.
Delray Public Beach
The whole period is a long, flat grind. For the first few days, from Saturday morning on the 5th, the swell is tiny – we’re talking 1ft at best, with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined swell energy is a measly 12, so you’re not even getting a ripple. The wind is a mess, too: cross-onshore, choppy, and not doing us any favours. Sunday the 6th morning goes glassy, but the swell drops to 0.7ft with a combined energy of 2 – that’s a lake, not an ocean.
We get a slight bump mid-week. Wednesday the 9th shows some life with a 3ft swell from the NE, period around 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 108 (moderate). The wind is onshore though, so it’s going to be messy and poor. This continues through Thursday the 10th with similar energy (106 to 67), but still onshore.
After that, it’s a slow bleed. The swell drops back to 2ft and below, the period stays short (7-8 seconds), and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, often with fresh breezes and lumpy conditions by the 14th and 15th. The combined energy dips into the 30s and 40s after that.
There’s no standout here. The best on offer is the Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th, with that 3ft NE swell, but the onshore wind kills it. For a beginner spot in Florida, this is a blank run. It’s fairly consistent for the area normally, but right now? It’s not happening. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle.

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.
