The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ our way for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The wave energy is real low, with combined energy values stickin’ mostly in the weak range (between 8 and 54). There’s no standout, proper surf to get excited about, and the whole 16-day window looks like a flat spell for paddle surfing. This is one of those times when the ocean just doesn’t have much to offer.
We’ve got a run of days with almost no surf to speak of through the end of July and into early August. The swell heights are tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft, with very short periods of 4 to 8 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not real groundswell. The conditions are often bumpy with cross-onshore winds, keepin’ things messy.
Now, there’s a slight flicker of life on the morning of August 1st at Delray Public Beach. The wind goes light offshore from the WSW at 6 mph, and the air is clean. But the swell is a weak 2ft from the SSW, with a period of only 4 seconds. The combined energy is just 16 – that’s barely enough to move a sea gull. It’s the closest thing to a window, but for a beginner spot, it’s just too small and weak to be a proper recommendation.
The water’s about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report there.
The best we can say is that on August 2nd, Sunday morning, the wind goes glassy with a light SSW breeze at 3 mph, but the swell is only 0.7ft. It’s a pretty sight, but not a surfable one.
For a bit of optimism, the forecast can change, and this area does get waves. But for now, we’re in a flat spell. If you’re desperate to get wet, you’d be better off on a longboard with a big paddle, or just savin’ the gas.
Rusty.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
