The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here to break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead. Delray Public Beach has the water temp feeling about normal for this time of year, but the waves are just not showing up.
The early days are flat. Swell energy is barely registering—single and low double digits in the brackets. It’s all tiny, short-period junk with onshore winds. Nothing to even consider.
The first full week is basically dead. The only time the combined energy gets into triple digits is on Wednesday the 9th with readings of 104 and 150, but it’s all onshore, poor quality surf. Not worth your time.
There’s a big gap of nothing special. Day after day of 0.6 ft to 1 ft waves with crummy wind. Even a glassy morning on the 16th only gives you 1 ft and a 4-second period—that’s just lake-like.
The one standout is way out on Monday the 21st of September. We get a pulse of NE swell pushing 3 ft with a 10-second period, and the energy jumps to 157. It’s the strongest reading in the whole forecast. Wind is cross-on at 15 mph, which will chop it up a bit, but it’s the only real chance for a wave in the whole run. This is a beginner-friendly beach, so it’s not too intimidating, but don’t expect perfection.
Everything else is small and wind-affected right through the end of the second week. Mark that 21st on the calendar and keep your fingers crossed for better wind.
Rusty.

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.
