The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be real for a second. It’s flat. Like, properly flat. We’re lookin’ at a solid 16-day stretch with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for at Delray Public Beach. I’m not gonna lie to you and say there’s a glimmer of hope, because there isn't.
The first few days, the 13th and 14th, are dead. We're talking 0.3 to 1 feet of dribble. The energy is pathetic (8-9). You’d get more exercise walking on the beach. Even with some glassy conditions, there’s just no ocean to surf.
The weekend brings a little more swell, maybe reaching 3 feet on the 15th, but it’s from the SE and has a terrible 4-second period. That’s just pure wind chop. It might be a bit bigger, but it’ll be messy and weak.
Monday the 17th has a slight window with a light offshore wind, but that swell is still a paltry 0.7 feet. You’re just looking at a clean, empty ocean.
The rest of the week and into the next is the same story. A bump on the 22nd to 3 feet, but the period is a shocking 5-seconds. It’s close to a lake out there. The energy readings are still super weak. Then it dies right back down again. We're talking about days and days of nothing.
It looks like the morning of the 26th might have the most potential, with a light wind and slightly better energy, but the swell is still small and poorly organized at around 2 to 2 feet. It's not worth the paddle.
Honestly, this is one of those full-on blank runs. There’s no other way to say it. For the most part, it’s about average for this stretch of sand to just shut down for a while.
The only action might be for the kitesurfers out there. With the onshore wind and some of that chop on the 15th and 25th, that setup might look a bit more fun to them than to us.
Keep your head up, but don’t get your hopes up. Forecasts always change, and it’s not gonna stay this poor for long. I’ll be watching the charts, but for now, this is a hard pass.

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.
