The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’re looking at the local lineup, and I gotta be honest with you – for the next couple weeks, it’s a flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. There’s no real surf on offer here for a long stretch, so if you’re hanging for a wave, you might wanna find something else to do.
We start off with nothing rideable right now. From August 10th right through the 18th, it’s all poor conditions – tiny, weak, and mostly onshore slop. The swell is barely breaking 2 ft, with short, weak periods of 4 to 8 seconds, and combined energy is pitiful (27 down to 6). Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping it up. No point paddling out.
The first tiny glimmer shows up on Wednesday morning, August 19th at Delray Public Beach. We see a glassy moment with an offshore breeze from the east at just 3 mph. We’ve got a 1 ft swell from the ESE, period stretching to 11 seconds – that’s a little more groundswell character, but the combined energy is still low at 79. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” This is really the only time in the 16-day window you might get a few knee-high, clean bumps. The water temp is 86°, which is about normal for this time of year.
After that brief moment on the 19th morning, the rest of the run goes sour again. From the 20th right through the 25th, it’s back to small, weak, and messy surf with risk of thunderstorms. Winds turn cross-onshore again, and swell dribbles in at 0.7 ft to 3 ft with poor, short periods. Honestly, it’s just not worth wetting a suit.
So, the standout? There’s only one: Wednesday morning, August 19th at Delray Public Beach. It’s clean, glassy, and has a touch of groundswell, but don’t expect much – it’s small and ordinary. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. Otherwise, this stretch is a write-off for surf.
Rusty.

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.

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.
