The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you. It's Rusty here, and I've got to tell you straight up: this 16-day window for Delray Public Beach is looking pretty bleak. We're stuck in a flat spell, and there's just nothing on the table that's worth paddling out for.
Right from the start on Friday the 24th, we're looking at tiny 1-foot swell out of the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined swell energy is a weak 32. That's barely a ripple. The water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it's warm if you just want a swim.
The pattern just doesn't change. Day after day, we're stuck with ankle-biters. Saturday the 25th, Sunday the 26th, all the way through to the end of July, it's the same story: swell heights barely scraping 1 to 1 feet, weak energy readings mostly under 30, and a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" in the notes. The wind does swing around a bit, giving us some clean, glassy moments early Sunday morning the 26th with a light WSW breeze, but there's just no swell to work with. It's clean, but flat.
We roll into August, and honestly, it doesn't get much better. The first week of August is more of the same. There's a little bump on Sunday the 2nd with a 3-foot S swell, but the period is a paltry 4 seconds and the onshore wind is gonna chop it to pieces. The combined energy hits 44, but that's still weak, and the waves will be messy and weak.
Now, looking way out to the second week, things get a tiny bit more interesting, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. On Friday morning the 7th of August, we finally see a 3-foot SE swell with a 5-second period and combined energy of 38. The wind is forecast to be glassy – dead calm. That's a rare treat. If you paddle out at first light, you might find a few fun, small crumbly waves. But it's still a very weak swell, and it's a week and a half away, so take that promise with a grain of salt. The Saturday following it gets chopped up again by a moderate SE breeze.
There are no standouts here, folks. Delray is a fairly consistent beginner-friendly beach, but right now it's just not breaking. With the combination of tiny swell and strong onshore winds on most afternoons, this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite or a foil than a paddle board. It just tends to be like this sometimes; forecasts can change, but for now, save the drive.
Rusty.
