The Lowdown

Alright, grab your boards and listen up. This is Rusty, and I've got the full picture for you. It’s a tough stretch, so I'll be straight with you.

The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninviting. We have a long stretch of small, weak surf ahead, so don't get your hopes up for any hero waves just yet. You're looking at a real gap of solid surf to start. The waves we are seeing are small and pretty gutless, blown around by onshore breezes. It won't be worth a paddle for a while.

We start things off on Monday, August 3rd, at Delray Public Beach. There's a tiny pulse of east swell, only 0.7ft with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 14. Water temp is a warm 86°, which is about normal for this time of year. There's a risk of thunderstorms, too. It doesn't get much worse than this.

Tuesday the 4th is more of the same: knee-high dribble and crossed-up winds. The swell bumps up just a touch to 1ft, but it's still not surfable.

Through the rest of the first week, we see a slight bump in size, but it's all short-period, wind-slop. By Thursday the 6th, the swell gets to 3ft, but the period is a useless 5 seconds. The energy is climbing a little, hitting 39-42, but it's just a messy, blown-out chop. The wind is on it, so it's going to be a washing machine out there.

Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are similar. The swell peaks at 4ft on Friday morning with an east-southeast direction, but that 5-second period means it's all surface noise. Energy gets up to 91 on Friday afternoon, which is moderate, but it's all wasted on a messy, short-period wind swell.

The following week doesn't offer any relief. The size drops, the period stays short, and the wind is constantly on or cross-onshore. The energy stays weak, mostly under 50.

There is a slight blip on Saturday, August 15th. The energy jumps to 83 with 3ft of east-southeast swell, but it's still a 5-second period. The wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it choppy and bumpy. This is not the day to paddle out.

The last day in the window, Tuesday, August 18th, finally shows something a little different. The swell direction shifts to the north-northeast, and the period stretches out to 7 seconds. It's still small, around 3ft, with moderate energy at 74. The wind looks a little lighter in the morning, which might make it the most interesting day of the whole stretch, but that's not saying much.

Honestly, for the next 16 days, Delray Public Beach is a write-off for surfing. It's small, weak, and messy. With all this onshore wind and a beach setup, this looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep the board in the car, and maybe go for a skate. The long-range stuff on the 18th is promising but less certain. Don't hold your breath.

Rusty.

Information about the Delray Public Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Delray Public Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Delray Public Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Delray Public Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Delray Public Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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.
