The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch it to feet for you landlubbers and imperial fans. Rusty here, same story for Delray Public Beach.
Don't wax up just yet because the start of this forecast is a dead zone. We have a real long stretch of nothing good until one session that shines through.
Your first proper chance to get wet is on Thursday, the 26th of September. Early that morning, a small but clean 2ft NE swell shows up with a 9-second period and combined energy of 97 (weak). What makes it work is the light 5 mph cross-offshore wind from the west, keeping the surface glassy. It’s small, but for this beginner-friendly break that’s been copping onshore junk, it’s a breath of fresh air.
The real winner, the one you’ve been waiting for, is the afternoon of the 26th. Same 2ft NE swell, same 9-second period, but the combined energy nudges up to 108 (moderate). The wind goes glassy with a slight 5 mph SE breeze. For a spot that is sometimes crowded, this is as good as it gets. Conditions will be absolutely clean and lined up. This is your session.
Everything before that is rough. From the 15th right through the 25th, it’s a grinding run of poor surf. Onshore and cross-onshore winds from the ENE and ESE keep the waves a choppy, blown-out mess. There is a bit more size on Thursday the 17th with 5ft to 5ft NE swell and moderate energy (253 to 269), but strong 15 to 20 mph cross-onshore wind makes it a total write-off.
After the 26th, it goes south again quick. Sunday the 28th brings a bigger 6ft to 6ft pulse from the south with strong energy (338 to 372), but 20 mph cross-shore NNE winds create a nasty chop. Not worth the paddle. The rest of the month is just small, lumpy leftovers.
Water temp on that standout day? Right around average for the season.
Rusty out.
