Table - best surf conditions forecast for Delray Public Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this 16-day window for Delray Public Beach is a flat spell. There’s not a single decent wave on offer from now through the end of the month. The whole period is a write-off for paddle surfing.
We’ve got a few mornings with glassy, clean conditions—like the 17th, 18th, and 20th of July, with light cross-off winds from the SW—but the swell is barely a ripple. Heights are stuck between 0.7 ft and 3 ft, periods are short (mostly 3 to 8 seconds), and the combined energy readings are tiny, hanging around 5 to 30 (weak energy). The wind is mostly cross-onshore from the SSE or SE, kicking up chop and making a mess of what little bump there is.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing strange there.
Honestly, with the swell this small, the poor quality, and the regular onshore breezes, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s nothing to get excited about. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a lean run, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, leave the boards at home.
