The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. The outlook for Delray Public Beach is a bummer. We’ve got a solid 16-day window here, but it’s a complete flat spell. The first record kicks off on Wednesday, August 5th, but there’s absolutely nothing to get excited about. The whole run is one long stretch of tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. We’re looking at a gap of over two weeks with no real surf on offer.
The water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year at Delray, so at least a dip to cool off would be nice, but don’t bother bringing a board.
The main issue is the wind. It’s almost constantly onshore or cross-onshore, mostly from the ESE and SE, blowing at 9 to 16 mph. That’s cleaning nothing up. The swell heights are stuck between 0.3 ft and 4 ft, with periods all over the shop but mostly short and weak. The combined wave energy barely gets above 96 (weak energy), and most of the time it’s in the single digits or low teens. The "poor surf conditions" tag is on every single entry.
A few mornings, like Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th, have a little more size, around 3 ft, but the wind is still onshore and the period is a pathetic 4 to 5 seconds. That’s just junk. Even the breezes that are lighter, like on Monday the 17th or Wednesday the 19th, are still cross-onshore, leaving the surface choppy.
There’s no standout here. Not a single session worth paddling out for. If you’re desperate, maybe a longboard for the tiny 2 ft to 3 ft days, but it’s hard to recommend. For a beginner spot, those waves are barely knee-high anyway.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the constant breeze and lack of any real wave face. Hang tight, boys. The forecast can change, but for now, it’s a blank run.
Rusty.

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.
