The Lowdown
Rusty here, checkin’ in from the beach. It’s a quiet story for Delray Public Beach this stretch. The water’s sittin’ around 86°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year—nothin’ wild.
Pretty much the whole 16-day window is gonna be a tough one. There are no good options anywhere in the forecast, not a single session worth paddlin’ out for. The entire run from Thursday, August 13 straight through to Friday, August 28 is a flat, blown-out mess. The cycle kicks off with a couple of glassy mornings, but all we’ve got is ankle-snappers and knee-high dribble—swell heights barely ticklin’ 1 ft at best. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the southeast and east, and the wave energy is next to nothin’, with combined energy values sittin’ between 7 and 60—that’s weak, real weak.
Even the morning of Monday, August 17 starts glassy, but with 0.7 ft of swell and only 12 units of energy, you’re lookin’ at a lake. The swell comes from the east or southeast, and the period is most often short—between 3 and 9 seconds, just wind chop. For a beginner beach break like this, it’s a hard pass for a paddle surfer. The setup and the conditions actually look more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a surfboard under their arm.
This kind of blank run isn’t unusual here—when the energy drops out, it can stay flat for a while. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s just nothin’ to get excited about.

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.
