The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the local scene. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window is looking pretty grim for Delray Public Beach. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about.
Right now, the water’s sitting at a warm 86°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The problem is the swell. For the first two weeks, from July 27th right through to August 10th, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. The combined energy is barely hitting double digits, often sitting between 6 and 25. That’s weak, weak energy. Swell heights are mostly 0.7ft to 2ft, and the period is short, mostly 4 to 8 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell. It’s just not going to offer anything rideable.
The wind is a mixed bag. We get some clean, cross-off mornings in the first few days, but the swell is just too small to make any of it worthwhile. Later on, from August 1st, the wind turns more onshore and cross-onshore, adding chop to the mix. The wave comment for every single day is “poor surf conditions” until the very end of the forecast.
Then, on August 11th, we finally see a tiny glimmer of hope. The morning brings a glassy offshore wind, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the SE with a 5-second period. The combined energy hits 63, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” This is a beginner-friendly spot, and 3ft is fine for a learner, but the short period means the waves will be a bit weak and crumbly. The afternoon turns onshore again, so the window is tight.
Honestly, it’s a tough run. The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of August 11th. If you’re desperate, you might get a few small, clean waves on a longboard or a foamy. But don’t expect much. For a beach break like this, the lack of energy and the short period mean it’s going to be a real struggle to find a good one. This kind of blank run isn’t totally unusual for the area, but it’s a bummer. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
