The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks. The short story? We're stuck in a flat spell. The wave energy is just too weak for any kind of paddle session, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, tearing up what little bump there is. There's a solid gap of nothing worth mentioning from now until the end of the month.
The only spot we've got a read on is Delray Public Beach.
Right now, Tuesday morning, August 11th, we're looking at a tiny 1ft SSE swell with a period of just 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 14 – that's weak. The water temp is 86°, which is about average for the time of year. The wind is onshore from the ESE, so it's a mess. The forecast just says "poor surf conditions," and that's being kind.
Things don't get any better. The whole stretch of August 11th through the 25th is a dead zone. The swell heights barely tickle 3ft on Saturday, August 15th, with a 5-second period from the SE and a combined energy of 52 (still weak). But the wind is a moderate onshore breeze, so it's choppy and blown out. Not a single wave worth paddling for.
The best-looking window in the whole 16 days is actually way out there, on Wednesday morning, August 26th. We've got a 3ft swell from the ESE with a 4-second period. The combined energy is 31. It's still weak, and the wind is light onshore, so it's a long shot. But if you're desperate, it's the only bump of energy on the horizon.
Frankly, there's nothing to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality surf. The energy is too low, the periods are too short, and the wind is almost always working against us. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the boards in the car.
Rusty.
