The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's cooking in your neck of the woods.
Honestly, I've gotta level with you – looking at the next 16 days, it's a real flat spell. There's nothing on the table that I'd even call a 'recommendation' for a proper surf. The combined swell energy is practically non-existent, with readings like 29 and 27 (weak energy) on the first day, and it just doesn't get any better. We're talking about a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with poor conditions most of the time. It's one of those periods where the ocean just looks like a lake.
We start off on Friday, July 24th, with a tiny 1.0ft swell from the ESE at 8 seconds. That's weak, short-period windswell, and the wind is onshore. Not worth paddling out for. This flat, poor-quality pattern just drags on day after day. There are a few mornings, like Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th, with a light cross-offshore breeze that cleans the water up, but the swell is still miniscule – 0.7ft to 1.0ft. It's barely a ripple.
The closest we get to anything is on the morning of Saturday, August 8th. A 1.0ft swell from the NE with a period of 10 seconds shows up, giving us a combined energy of 37. That's still weak, but it's the highest energy reading in the whole window. The wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so it'll be choppy. For a beach break like Delray Public Beach, that tiny bit of longer-period groundswell energy is just going to straighten out and close out on the sandbars. It's not for us.
Honestly, for a beginner spot, the swell never gets above 5ft, so it's safe in that regard, but there's just no wave to ride. The wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. This is one of those times where you can leave the board in the car. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a solid 16-day gap with nothing to get excited about.
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. Our Delray Public Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

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.
