The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks for Delray Public Beach.
Honestly, it's a rough start. From Saturday the 12th right through to Monday the 21st of September, there's just nothing doing. The surf is nearly flat, the wind is all over the place - mostly a messy cross-onshore - and those afternoon thunderstorms are a real pain. You're looking at tiny, weak waves with energy readings in the teens (weak energy). Not worth getting wet for.
The script flips in the second week. Starting Tuesday the 22nd of September, we finally get a pulse. A new S/SE swell pushes in with clean offshore winds from the SW. Tuesday morning shows clean conditions with a 6-foot swell from the SE, and the energy jumps up to 289 (moderate energy). But the real standout is Wednesday morning, the 23rd of September. It's glassy – dead calm – with a solid 8-foot swell out of the south, and the wave energy is pumping at 956 (strong energy). The period is a short 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit steep and fast, but with that size and glass, it has power. That's a big day – over 8 feet – so it's expert territory only. Beginners, sit this one out.
Thursday the 24th still has some leftover energy with another glassy morning and a dropping 6-foot swell from the S and an energy reading of 499 (moderate energy). It fades fast after that, dropping back to small chop by the weekend.
For the one and only true standout, circle Wednesday the 23rd of September on your calendar. It's the only day in this whole 16-day window that looks genuinely good, but remember it's a long way off, so don't book the day off just yet. Everything else is small and sloppy.
Rusty.
