The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle down at Delray Public Beach. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions stretching from the start right through to the end of the first week and into the second. The energy just isn’t there, and the wind is mostly working against us.
The outlook kicks off on Monday 20 July with a feeble 3 ft SSE swell, but it’s carrying a short, weak 5-second period and the combined energy is a measly 39 – that’s weak. A 16 mph SSE cross-on wind is going to chop it up badly. The afternoon sees the swell bump to 4 ft, but the wind picks up to 19 mph, making it lumpy and messy. No good for anyone.
Tuesday 21 July and Wednesday 22 July are more of the same: tiny 3 ft swells, periods of just 4 seconds, and cross-on winds keeping things choppy. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about 1° warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s just a normal warm summer bath.
We hit a real flat spell from Thursday 23 July through to the end of the month. Swell heights drop to 0.7 ft, with combined energy values falling into the low teens. There’s a brief moment on Sunday 26 July morning with 3 mph SW cross-off wind and clean conditions, but the swell is only 0.7 ft – absolutely nothing to ride. The same goes for Monday 27 July morning: clean but flat.
The first week of August isn’t any kinder. From Saturday 1 August to Monday 3 August, we’re looking at 0.7 ft swells with onshore winds. The energy stays weak, never breaking 30. The very end of the forecast on Tuesday 4 August shows a tiny pulse: 3 ft from the SE, but it’s a short 5-second period with onshore winds, so it’ll be a bumpy, weak mess.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout day. The best you could hope for is that 0.7 ft clean morning on the 26th or 27th, but that’s a lake, not surf. For a beginner-friendly beach break, this is a total bust. If you’ve got a kite, the stronger afternoon winds on Monday 20th might give you a window, but for a paddle surfer, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
