The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a grim picture for a while. We’ve got a serious dry spell on our hands.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Friday, August 28th. That’s a solid two-week gap of nothing but flat, weak, or blown-out conditions. For most of this stretch, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, with short, weak periods and onshore winds. It’s a total write-off. You’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board than getting wet.
Now, let’s talk about the one glimmer of hope. Friday morning, August 28th at Delray Public Beach. The wind finally goes glassy, swinging out of the SW. We’ll see a bit of a bump in energy, with a combined swell energy of 177 – that’s still in the moderate range, but it’s a start. The swell is coming from the East at 2 ft, with a period of 12 seconds, so that’s a proper groundswell. It’s not huge, but for a spot that’s been dead, it’s a lifeline. The water temp is sitting around 87°, which is about normal for this time of year. The break is fairly exposed to the East, so it’ll pick up that energy. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but keep in mind the crowds can be an issue *sometimes*.
Saturday morning, August 29th might be the real standout. The swell picks up a little more, with combined energy of 250 (moderate) and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the West. The swell is 3 ft from the NE with that same 12-second period, so it’ll have some push. For a beach break, that long period can make it a bit straight, but with clean wind, it’s your best bet. The afternoon on Saturday looks like it gets blown out again with onshore winds, so get on it early.
Honestly, these two mornings are all we’ve got. The rest of the forecast is a bust. If you’re desperate, the 28th and 29th are your window. Otherwise, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
