The Lowdown
Alright, folks, this is Rusty. Let's take a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. The next 16 days are looking like a real desert for surf. We've got a huge gap of nothing but flat, poor conditions staring us right in the face. There’s no good news for the first week and a half.
The only spot on the radar is Delray Public Beach, and the story there is a long, dry spell. From Saturday, September 5th, all the way through to Saturday, September 19th, the forecast is a total washout. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the period is short, between 4 and 8 seconds, which means weak, choppy, onshore slop. The wind is almost always on it or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions." The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (mostly below 100, with a high of 141 on the 9th). It's just not worth paddling out for.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, at 87.3°F.
Now, hold on. There is a little flicker of hope right at the very end of the period. Towards Sunday, September 20th, we see a slight uptick. The swell height bumps up to 2.3 ft to 2.9 ft, the period stretches out to a more promising 10 seconds, and the energy jumps to 116 and then 154 (moderate energy). The wind is still cross-onshore, so it won't be perfect, but it's the first sign of life in weeks. This is a long-range call, so take it with a grain of salt, but it's the only thing on the horizon that might be worth a look.
So, for the next two weeks, give the board a rest. The forecast is hopeless. That little bump on the 20th is our only hope, but it's a long way off and not a guarantee. Keep your eyes peeled, but don't hold your breath.

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.
