The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the local surf. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: the next week and a half is pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing rideable. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Thursday, September 3rd, and even then, it’s just small and ordinary.
From now until September 2nd, forget it. The swell is tiny, the wind is junk, and the energy is weak. The water is about 87°, which is normal for this time of year, so no worries there.
The only window worth mentioning is on Thursday, September 3rd, into the morning of Friday, September 4th, and again on Saturday, September 5th morning. That’s when we get a little groundswell from the NE, with a period around 14 seconds and the energy climbing to 250 (moderate). The swell height is only 2ft, but the wind turns light offshore or cross-offshore, making it glassy and clean. This is the best we’ve got. The break is Delray Public Beach. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and with that light offshore wind, the surface will be smooth. The crowds are sometimes around, so you might have a few others out. The swell direction is NE, which is right on the money for this spot. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only time you can actually paddle out and catch a few small, clean waves.
After that, the swell fades. The second week stays small, with occasional glassy mornings but hardly any push. The period drops back to 10-11 seconds, and the energy is weak. For an expert, this is a no-go. For a beginner, these small, clean windows on September 3rd morning and September 5th morning are your best bet. It’s a long wait, but it’s what we’ve got.
Stay patient, and keep watching the sky.
