The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, 'cause I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a bit of a struggle. Delray Public Beach (Florida) is lookin' pretty flat for the next couple of weeks. There's a big gap here with no real surf to speak of. The first blip of anything on July 20th is just a messy 3 ft to 4 ft of short-period, weak windswell from the SSE, with a combined energy of only 40 to 89. That's weak. And the wind is a cross-onshore SSE breeze, makin' it choppy and lumpy. The water temp is sittin' at 86°, which is about normal for this time of year.
From July 20th all the way through to August 4th, the story is pretty much the same: tiny waves, mostly under 2 ft, with a combined energy that barely cracks 30. The swell direction is all over the shop, but the period is short, 4 to 8 seconds, so it's just windswash. The wind is mostly a cross-onshore from the SSE or SE, keeping things ragged. A few mornings, like July 26th and July 27th, we get a light SW wind that cleans it up, but there's nothing to ride. Even the glassy conditions on August 2nd with a 0.7 ft swell are a tease.
There's one little moment on July 26th, Sunday morning, where a light SW cross-offshore breeze cleans up the tiny 1 ft of NE swell. The combined energy is only 13. It's clean, but it's laughably small. You'd be watchin' the ripples, not ridin' 'em. For a beginner spot, you need more than this to learn on. It's just a flat spell, plain and simple. For a mix of beach and reef, this setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer – at least they might get a puff.
Overall, it's a poor run of form. The forecast can change, but right now, there's not a single standout. The best you can hope for is a clean, tiny bump on the 26th morning, but it's not worth getting excited about.
