The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about this stretch. We’re looking at the 16-day window for Delray Public Beach, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet run. The first surf worth mentioning doesn’t show up until Thursday, 20th August, and even then it’s a real struggle to call it a session. There’s a big gap of nothing from the start of the period all the way through to that Thursday morning, so don’t even bother waxing up before then.
The overall pattern is small, weak, and onshore. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits for most of the first week, sitting in the 10 to 30 range (weak). The water temperature is sitting right around 86°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Thursday, 20th August morning is the only time that might get a nod. You’ve got a tiny 1ft swell sliding in from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds, so it’s a bit of long-period energy for a beach break, which can make it a little too straight. But the big win here is the wind: glassy, from the SW at just 3 mph. That’s a major positive. The combined energy is 67 (still weak), but it’s the cleanest the water will look. This is the only one I’d even consider paddling out for, but keep your expectations low – it’s a beginner-friendly ankle-to-knee high wave.
Everything else is either completely flat, blown out, or both. The swell gets a little bump on Saturday the 15th (3ft, SE, 5 second period), but it’s choppy with cross-onshore winds at 12 mph. That’s a kite-boarding setup, not a surfing one. Short period, messy, and the energy is only 49 (weak). No thanks.
The second week stays tiny. The morning of Wednesday, 19th August, shows glassy conditions with a 1ft ESE swell, but the energy is a paltry 18. Not worth the drive. The standout, if you can call it that, is Thursday the 20th morning. It’s the only time the word “surfable” pops up.
So here’s the bottom line: one decent window in 16 days, and it’s marginal. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a flat spell. Keep your eye on the forecasts – things can change. But for now, I’d save your energy.
Rusty.
