The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, speaking your language, but in feet and miles.
We’ve got a long dry spell ahead at Delray Public Beach. From the 10th through the 20th of September, it’s mostly flat to tiny – think knee-high slop. Swell rarely tops 2ft, and periods are short, with onshore or cross-onshore winds and a few thunderstorms. Combined energy is under 40, so basically dead. Water temp on the 10th is about 87°, which is a touch warmer than usual – feels like a hot tub, but no surf to enjoy it in.
The first real hope comes on the 23rd of September. Wednesday morning shows a cross-offshore breeze and a 5-6ft swell from the NNE, with energy climbing to 469 – that’s moderate and getting interesting. The standout is Wednesday afternoon: clean offshore wind from the west, swell 6ft from the NE, and combined energy near 600. That’s waist-to-chest high, clean, and the best window in the whole forecast. Period is 9 seconds, so it’s workable. Go then.
Thursday the 24th morning is glassy with a 4-5ft NE swell, but energy drops off. By Thursday afternoon, onshore wind returns and the swell jumps to 10ft – too big, too messy. Friday the 25th brings a massive 14ft+ swell from the SSE, but the break can’t handle it – that’s for experts only, and with cross-onshore wind, it’s ugly. Energy over 3600, but useless for paddle surfing.
Crowds? Expect company on the good days. If you kite, Friday the 25th could be epic, but for paddle boards, stick to the 23rd afternoon and maybe 24th morning. Everything else is a skip.
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. If you surf the same spot (Delray Public Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
