The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the local stretch.
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next week and a half or so is looking pretty flat and messy for Delray Public Beach. The swell heights are tiny, barely scraping 3ft at best, with short, weak periods. Most days the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up what little bump there is. We’ve got a long gap of flat, poor surf from now right through till the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September.
Now, things get a little interesting around Tuesday the 8th of September. A new NE groundswell rolls in, pushing the combined swell energy up to 202 (moderate energy). The morning session is the one to look at. We’re looking at 3ft of swell with a good 12-second period. The wind is light from the SW and glassy. That’s about as clean as it gets for a beach break.
That window hangs around for a few days. Wednesday the 9th of September morning is very similar: 3ft from the NE with an 11-second period, and glassy conditions again with blue skies. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th of September mornings also score clean conditions with light offshore winds from the NW, though the period drops slightly to 10 seconds.
The standout is the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September. That’s the cleanest window with the biggest, longest-period swell on offer. It's only 3ft, so it’s not a big day, but with that glassy surface, it’ll be a fun little longboard or fish session. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The crowd meter says it can get busy sometimes, and with such a small window of quality, expect some company out there.
The best bet is the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September at Delray Public Beach. The swell is 3ft out of the NE, glassy wind, and clean.
Rusty.
