The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are a total write-off for any sort of decent surf around here. I’ve looked at every single forecast, and there’s just nothing to get excited about.
We’re looking at a long, flat spell starting now, lasting right through until the end of July. The combined swell energy barely registers, with a few tiny pulses getting up to a combined energy of 43 – that’s weak stuff. The waves are tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and often down around 0.7 ft to 1 ft. The swell periods are short, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, so there’s no power or shape to them. On top of that, the wind is nearly always onshore or cross-onshore from the ESE, SE, or SSE, chopping up what little bump there is. There’s a brief moment on Thursday morning, July 16th, where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 1 ft from the NE with a period of 7 seconds – that’s a tiny lake-like ripple, not a wave.
The only spot we’ve got to look at is Delray Public Beach. It’s a beginner-friendly beach break that’s fairly consistent, but it’s exposed to the east. The water’s sitting at 86°F, which is about average for this time of year. But with the wind and swell direction all wrong, it’s just not going to work. The conditions are classed as "poor" every single day. Honestly, for kite surfers, the stronger afternoon breezes and choppy water might look more interesting than it does for us paddle surfers.
It’s a grim run, but that’s the nature of the area sometimes. Forecasts can change, and it usually doesn’t stay this quiet for too long, but for now, save your energy and wax.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Delray Public Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
