The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where patience is gonna be the name of the game. We've got a long stretch ahead with nothing really worth paddling out for.
The whole 16-day window is empty. Not a single standout session or even a half-decent wave to get excited about. From now, right through to the 23rd of September, every forecast record for Delray Public Beach is marked as "poor surf conditions." That's a pretty bleak run, but for this area, that's the reality sometimes. It's not the season for it, so a blank run like this is more normal than a surprise.
Let's break down the first week. Starting with Tuesday the 8th and through the weekend, we're looking at tiny, weak swell. We're talking 0.7ft to 3ft at best, with periods mostly hanging around 4 to 8 seconds. That is all short-period, weak windswell. The combined energy is pathetic – barely scraping into double digits (13 to 97). The wind is onshore from the ESE and SE, a steady 9 mph, keeping everything messy and bumpy. Even the water, while a touch warmer than normal at 87°F, isn't going to make those ankle-biters feel any better.
Moving into the second week, from the 15th to the 20th, the swell does nudge up a little – hitting 3ft on the 16th. But don't get your hopes up. The period is still a dismal 4 to 5 seconds, so it's basically just wind chop. The wind swings around to a cross-onshore from the E and ENE, 12 to 16 mph, making it "moderate cross-onshore and choppy" out there. It's enough to make it look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest. The combined energy stays weak, in the 30s and 40s.
Right at the very end, on the 21st of September, the wind finally turns cross-offshore from the NNW, and it gets clean. We see the same on the 22nd with a true offshore from the NW. The swell is still tiny though – 2ft to 3ft, with a short period. So while the conditions would be glassy and clean, the waves just aren't there to ride. It's a tease. On the 23rd, it's more of the same, a little cross-offshore cleaner again, but the swell is weak.
Look, there's nothing to chase here. If you absolutely *have* to get wet, the 22nd (Tuesday) might offer the cleanest conditions with that offshore wind, but you'll be fighting for 3ft of weak energy. It's not good. Keep the board in the car and check back later – forecasts change. Hang tight.
Rusty.
