Table - best surf conditions forecast for Delray Public Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be straight with you – this forecast for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, weak conditions, and I’m not seeing any real standouts for a proper paddle. The first record we’ve got is for Friday the 10th of July, and even then, it’s a no-go.
Delray Public Beach is the only spot on the menu, and it's a beginner-friendly beach break that's fairly exposed. Over the first week, from Friday the 10th right through to the end of the following week, we’re dealing with tiny, weak swell. The combined energy is in the low double digits and never really threatens to get interesting – we’re talking values between 9 and 71, which is painfully weak. The swell is mostly coming from the SE, but it’s short-period stuff, barely 4 to 8 seconds, so it’s just not going to hold up. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, blowing from the SE and ESE at 12 to 15 mph, which is just going to chop up whatever dribble is there. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
There is a tiny flicker of hope on Thursday the 16th of July in the morning, where we get a light offshore wind from the W at 6 mph, and the swell height is a meager 2 ft with a period of 7 seconds from the NE. The energy climbs to 52, which is still weak, but the clean conditions might make it just about rideable on a longboard. Then on Friday the 17th of July morning, we get glassy conditions with a slight air from the S at 3 mph, but again, the swell is tiny at 1 ft. Honestly, for a beach break, these tiny, long-period swells are going to break too straight to be any fun. The whole setup is so weak that it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The gap between the first and any real quality is basically the entire 16-day window. The second week, from the 18th of July onward, is more of the same: tiny swell, poor energy, and onshore winds. There’s just nothing to get excited about. For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a real bummer, but forecasts can change. For now, leave the boards in the car and maybe find something else to do.
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.
