The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
First up, I gotta be straight with you: the surf window is looking pretty grim for the next while. We're looking at a long, flat period with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of a wave won't show up until July 30th, and even then it's a small, weak thing. The whole 16-day stretch is a struggle for any decent surf.
Delray Public Beach is the only game in town, but it's a quiet one. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
Thursday, July 23rd through Wednesday, July 29th we've got a real dead spell. Barely a ripple, with swell heights hovering around 0.7 feet to 2 feet and periods as low as 4 seconds. The wind is mostly cross-on or light, but the combined energy is pathetic, sitting between 10 and 35 (that's weak). It's a flat spell for sure.
Thursday, July 30th and Friday, July 31st show a tiny pulse. On the 30th, we're looking at a 0.7 feet, 8-second swell from the east in the morning, with a clean, light cross-offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is a measly 9 (weak). The 31st afternoon sees a small bump to 3 feet from the SSE, but with a terrible 4-second period and a cross-on breeze, it's just messy. Combined energy is 29 (weak). This is not for riding, it's for looking at.
Saturday, August 1st morning actually has a bit of a clean look. Swell from the ESE at 1 feet with an 8-second period, and the wind is offshore from the west at 15 km/h. The combined energy is 41 (weak). It's clean, but the swell is tiny. A longboard might float, but don't expect a real wave.
The rest of the run into August 7th is just more of the same: flat, weak, and mostly clean but with no power. The combined energy stays below 44 (weak) for the whole period. The few moments of glassy or offshore wind are wasted on a flat ocean.
Honestly, there's no standout here. The best on offer is Saturday, August 1st morning with the 1 feet ESE swell and clean offshore wind, but it's barely a ripple. The setup is better for a paddle than a surf. The long gap of flatness from July 23rd to July 29th is the real story here. It's a tough run for the area; sometimes it just goes quiet.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Delray Public Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
