The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's call it like I see it.
For the next two weeks plus, Delray Public Beach is looking like a total bust for any real waves. It’s a proper flat spell, and there’s nothing on the horizon that’s worth paddling out for. If you’re a beginner, honestly, don't bother with the drive.
Starting Wednesday, 22nd July, we have a tiny 2 ft swell coming from the SE, but it’s getting hammered by a 12 mph onshore breeze, making it choppy and poor. We see the same story for days: ankle-to-knee high waves at best, with the wind mostly ruining what little is there. The combined wave energy is very weak, clocking in at around 22 (22).
Even the few glassy windows, like on the morning of Sunday, 26th July, have barely 1 ft of weak swell from the northeast. You might get a clean surface, but you won’t get a ride. The water temp is a balmy 86°, which is only a degree warmer than normal, so at least the swim is comfortable.
Heading into the first week of August, it’s even worse. We’re dropping down to 0.7 ft swell from the east, and the combined energy numbers have collapsed into single digits, like 8 (8). Some mornings, like Sunday 2nd August, have a clean look with light offshore winds, but again, with no push behind it, it’s just a lake.
There’s only one spot, Delray Public Beach. The waves are non-existent, the wind is usually wrong, and sometimes there are still crowds for the scraps. This is just one of those dead runs that happens here. We need a serious weather change.
Stay tuned for the next forecast, but this one is a washout.

Information about the Delray Public Beach Surf forecast
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.
