The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening in the water for this stretch. To be honest with you, this is a rough patch for Delray Public Beach. We’re looking at a full 16-day window and there’s not a single moment where the surf is worth paddling out for. The whole run is a flat spell with nothing on offer. The forecast shows a lot of small, weak windswell coming from the east and southeast, but it’s never enough to get any proper waves breaking. The combined energy values are all in the double digits, peaking at just 48 (recorded on the 23rd of August), which is barely a bump in the water. The swell heights stay under 3ft, and the periods are short, mostly between 4 and 8 seconds, so there’s no push or power behind them. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, from the south or east, which only messes up the surface. You’ll see a few mornings with a light breeze, but the surf is so small it doesn’t matter. For a beginner spot like this, it’s a total washout. Don’t bother checking the cam until we get a proper change in the forecast. This blank run is pretty normal for the area when the summer pattern gets stuck. Keep the board in the car but don’t get your hopes up.
