The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Well, I'm not gonna lie to you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions ahead. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for decent waves. From the 11th of September right through to, say, the 22nd of September, it’s a proper desert. We’re staring down poor surf conditions every single session. The combined energy is barely registering a pulse, with values stuck in the 20s and 30s (weak wave energy). It’s a long, dry spell with no real standouts.

The only glimmer of hope, and I mean glimmer, comes right at the tail end on Tuesday the 22nd of September. The wind finally shifts to a cross-offshore from the NNW at 15 mph, which will clean things right up. The swell bumps up a notch with the combined energy hitting 281 (moderate wave energy). We’re looking at 5 ft swell from the NNE, but with a period of just 8 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, not a powerful groundswell. It’s still only a 0/10 rating for surf quality, so don't get excited.

For Delray Public Beach, the water temp is about average for this time of year. Nothing unusual. As I said, there isn’t a single standout session. If you’re desperate, that Tuesday the 22nd morning might offer the cleanest conditions, but the waves will be short-period and weak. Honestly, with the small, weak swell and cross-onshore winds we’ve got for most of the period, the beach setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Stay tuned, though. Forecasts can change. For now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
