The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where we’re staring down a long, flat spell. For the entire 16-day window, there’s just no real surf to get excited about. We’re looking at a solid run of “poor surf conditions” that stretches from now all the way through to Monday, August 10th. That’s a long gap, and it’s pretty much a washout for any kind of proper paddle surfing.
The only break on the cards is Delray Public Beach. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot, but the problem is, there’s nothing coming in. For the first week, from July 26th right through to August 1st, we’re seeing tiny dribbles of swell – mostly around 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft from the ENE and E. The combined energy is weak, ranging between 5 and 14, which is barely a ripple. The wind does offer some clean windows, like that glassy Sunday afternoon on the 26th or the offshore breeze Thursday afternoon on the 30th, but with wave heights that small, it’s just not worth paddling out. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no dramas there, but it’s not enough to save the session.
Moving into the second week, August 2nd through the 10th, the wind turns more onshore and cross-onshore, and the swell tries to shuffle around a bit. We get the biggest combined energy of the whole period on the morning of August 3rd, at 46, but that’s coming with a 3 ft SE swell and a short, weak period of 5 seconds. It’s still labeled as poor surf. The onshore winds from the SE and ESE for most of those days will chop it up anyway. After that, it fades back into the tiny stuff. There’s nothing here to recommend as a standout – not a single day offers a real rideable wave for a paddler.
If you’re into kiting, this setup might look a bit more interesting than it does for us surfers, especially when that SE wind picks up and the chop builds. But for a wave count? We’re going to have to wait for the next forecast.
Keep your eyes peeled, things can change. Rusty.
