The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles.
Straight up, this 16-day stretch for Delray Public Beach is a tough one. There’s a big gap at the start with no real surf to speak of, and it’s not until the first full week that we get a little bump.
Water temp is about 86°F – bang on average for the season.
The only time I’d even bother paddling out is Wednesday, August 5th into Thursday, August 6th. On Wednesday morning, we’ve got a 4 ft swell from the ESE with a combined energy of 56 (moderate). The wind is onshore from the ESE at 15 mph, which is a bummer for clean waves, and the period is a short 5 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Thursday morning is similar, with 3 ft to 4 ft from the ESE, energy at 64 (moderate), and still onshore wind. This is the best we’ll see.
For a beginner beach break, 3-4 ft is on the edge of being too much for total beginners, but it’s doable for most. The onshore wind will chop it up, so don’t expect any barrels. The crowds are “sometimes”, so you might have a few others out, but it’s not peak season.
The rest of the window is flat or tiny. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday afternoon, August 4th, with glassy conditions and a 2 ft swell, but the energy is low (18) and the period is a mushy 4 seconds. It’s a longboard-only kind of day, and barely worth the walk.
So, if you’re going to go, make it the mornings of August 5th or 6th. It’s not pretty, but it’s the only game in town.
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. If you surf the same spot (Delray Public Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
