The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We've got a solid run of tiny surf and onshore winds, so don't go getting your hopes up.

The only spot in the frame is Delray Public Beach, and it's a beginner-friendly beach break that's fairly consistent. But honestly, the opening days are a write-off. From Monday, July 27th, right through to the end of the first week, we're looking at surf that barely reaches 0.7 ft out of the east-northeast. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting in the double digits (10), and while the mornings might offer a clean face with a light offshore breeze, the aftertons get chopped up. It's just not worth the wetsuit rub.

The gap in any real surf stretches on. Through the first week of August, the wave heights are still tiny, barely nudging 2 ft, and the wind clocks onshore, making it messy. The swell period is short, around 4 seconds, which means weak, crumbly waves. The combined energy picks up a little (19-35), but it's all windswell junk. For a beginner spot, it's just not happening. Honestly, if you're a kite surfer, that afternoon sea breeze is building some serious wind, so this beach setup might be more interesting for you than for a paddler.

The second week doesn't offer any redemption. From August 7th through the 11th, it's the same story: small, onshore, and poor. The water is warm, about 86°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze waiting for a wave that never comes.

So, there you have it. A long, flat run. The forecasts can change, and it doesn't usually stay this poor for a full 16 days, but for now, there's nothing to recommend. Keep your board waxed and your eyes on the horizon.

Rusty.
