The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's take a look at what we've got coming up for Delray Public Beach. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you—this 16-day window is looking pretty bleak. We're staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell with barely a ripple worth getting excited about. The combined swell energy is weak as dishwater, mostly sitting in the single digits and low double digits, which tells you all you need to know.
The water temp is sitting around 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll be pleasant just floating around, even if you ain't surfing.
For the entire first week, it's a mess. Tuesday the 25th of August kicks off with an onshore breeze and a tiny 0.3 ft of swell from the NE, which is just sad. Wednesday through the weekend isn't any better, with the swell barely scraping 2 ft from the SE, which is wrong for this break, and that cross-on or onshore wind is going to chop it up. We’ve got a risk of thunderstorms in there too, just to rub salt in the wound. Everyone's gonna be stuck watching the flat water.
Around the 1st of September, there’s a little blip in the energy, but it’s still only 0.7 ft to 1 ft. Totally unrideable. The period jumps up to 13–15 seconds on the 2nd, which would be a decent groundswell in theory, but with that tiny size, it’s just a long-period bump on the sandbar. Not a wave.
There are a couple of moments near the end of the run that might make you want to grab a foamie. On the morning of Friday the 4th of September and again on Saturday the 5th, the wind goes glassy from the WSW and W. That’s nice. But the swell is still only 0.7 ft to 1 ft from the NE. It’s perfect conditions for a flat ocean. If you want to feel like you’re surfing but aren't, this is your window.
Honestly, this is a classic blank run for the area. Nothing on offer that's worth paddling out for. The wind patterns are all wrong for Delray, and the swell just isn't showing up. We'll have to keep an eye on the long-range forecasts—it tends not to stay this dead forever, and a little bump could change everything. But right now? Leave the boards in the car.
Rusty.
