The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got coming up for Delray Public Beach over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, this is a grim stretch. There’s nothing on the table that’s worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell with weak, mostly onshore wind and tiny, gutless waves. The first hint of anything comes on July 20th, but it’s a sad start: 4ft of slop from the SSE with a short period of 5 seconds and a cross-onshore wind at 19 mph. The combined energy is only a weak 102, and it’s just a messy, lumpy scene. It doesn't get any better.

We drift through a long stretch of days with wave heights scraping the bottom, rarely even hitting 3ft, and when they do, the period is so short the waves just crumble on themselves. The wind stays mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping everything choppy and blown out. Around July 26th, we get a brief moment of clean conditions with a light SW cross-offshore wind, but there’s zero size – just 1ft from the NE. It’s a clean window of nothing. A few mornings on July 29th and 31st offer some glassy conditions, with the 31st morning seeing the wind drop to zero, but again, the swell is tiny at 3ft and short period. The water temp is a warm 86°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but it’s the only thing that feels right.

Honestly, there is no standout session here. There’s no break to highlight, no day to circle on the calendar. This beginner-friendly beach is just not going to offer anything for a paddle surfer over this entire 16-day run. If a few of these breaks were more consistent I’d say stick with it, but the nature of this area is that a blank run like this is fairly normal. For a kite surfer, the stronger cross-onshore winds might offer something, but for us, it’s a solid skip. Keep an eye on the forecasts – it can’t stay this quiet forever.

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.

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.
