Table - best surf conditions forecast for Delray Public Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this stretch coming up is a tough one for the Delray Public Beach area. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for.
The whole 16-day outlook, from July 13th right through to July 28th, is basically a write-off for decent surf. There’s just no energy in the water. We’ve got a gap that starts straight away and never really opens up—day after day of tiny, weak swell. The combined swell energy barely climbs above 36 (weak energy) at its best, and most of the time it’s down in the single digits (weak energy). Swell heights are a measly 0.3 ft to 2 ft, periods are short—mostly 4 to 8 seconds—so there’s no punch, no shape, just small, sloppy junk.
Let’s run through it quickly. Monday July 13th morning offers 2 ft from the SE with a 4-second period and a cross-on breeze. Poor. Monday afternoon is the same story. Tuesday July 14th morning goes glassy with only 0.7 ft from the ESE, period up to 8 seconds but the combined energy is just 9 (weak energy)—flat. That glassy wind is a tease, but there’s nothing to ride. Wednesday July 15th morning has 2 ft from the NE, 8-second period, but it’s onshore and weak. Thursday July 16th morning goes glassy again with 1.0 ft from the NE—nice conditions, no surf. Friday July 17th morning is dead calm and glassy with 0.7 ft—zero. Saturday July 18th gets a bit of bump from the SE but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. And that pattern just repeats: small swell, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and combined energy values never reaching anything moderate.
Even the longer-range stuff through the second week—July 21st to 28th—offers nothing. Swell stays around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, periods short, winds mostly moderate cross-onshore. The biggest number we see is 17 (weak energy) on July 28th morning with 1.0 ft from the NE. That’s not surf.
Bottom line: there’s no best day, no standout morning, nothing to get excited about. For a beginner-friendly beach that’s fairly consistent normally, this is a blank run. It happens. Forecasts change, so don’t lose hope, but right now the board stays in the car.
Rusty.

The above surf forecast table for Delray Public Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Delray Public Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
