The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I'll be honest with you, we've got a pretty grim stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any kind of decent surf.
Delray Public Beach is the only spot on the cards, and it's a flat spell from start to finish. We're looking at a solid 16 days of nothing. The first recommendation doesn't even show up until July 17th, and it's just a tease. The water's sitting at a warm 86°F which is about normal for this time of year, but that's where the good news ends.
For the first week, from Friday July 17th right through to Thursday July 30th, it's all tiny, weak, choppy junk. You're looking at ankle to knee-high slop, mostly from the SSE or SE, with wave periods of just 4 seconds – that's pure windswell and it's got no energy behind it (combined energy of all swells directed here is a measly 39 at best). The wind is cross-onshore the whole time, making it messy and bumpy. There's a few spots where the wind drops to a light breeze, like on the morning of July 23rd, but the swell is only 0.7ft, so it's just flat with a bit of texture. Even the afternoon of July 23rd has a slightly longer period of 8 seconds, but the swell is still only 0.7ft. It's just not worth paddling out for.
The second week, from July 25th to August 1st, is more of the same. A little pulse of NE swell creeps in on the 25th, pushing the energy up to 61, but it's only 1ft with a 9-second period and the wind is cross-onshore again. It's a tease. The rest of the week is back to tiny 0.7ft windswill. There's a glimmer on the morning of August 1st, with a light WSW cross-offshore breeze and a clean 2ft of SE slop, but it's still weak and short period. It's the cleanest of a very dirty bunch, but it's still not a surf.
Honestly, for a beginner-friendly beach break, this is a classic summer flat spell. It's not unusual for this area. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's not a single wave worth chasing. Unless you're keen on a flat-water paddle, give it a miss.
Rusty.

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.

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.
