The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. Lookin' over the next 16 days for the Florida stretch around Delray Public Beach, and the honest truth is, we've got a pretty flat run on our hands. From now until the end of the period, there's just no swell to get excited about, and the wind is workin' against us on those rare occasions a tiny bump shows up. It's gonna be a long quiet spell, so if you're itchin' for a wave, you’ll want to take a good long look at the forecast before you drag your board out.

The water temperature is sitting at 87°F down at Delray Public Beach, which is about 2°F warmer than what's normal for early September. That's a touch warmer than average, so you won't need a wetsuit, just some patience.

The whole outlook is a bit of a bust. The first several days, from Thursday the 3rd to early on the 9th of September, we're stuck on tiny knee-busters. Swell heights are hovering around 0.3ft to 2ft, mostly out of the ESE or SE. The wind is either cross-shore or onshore, and with tidal ripples and stormy afternoons, it's just messy. The combined energy is barely a whisper – we're looking at values like 29, 26, 4, just sad stuff.

On Monday the 7th we get a brief moment of glassy conditions in the morning with a 0.7ft easterly bump, but that period is a short 8 seconds, and the energy is a pathetic 10. It's surfable for learning to pop up, but that's about it.

A little pulse tries to creep in around the 9th and 10th of September. On Wednesday the 9th afternoon we see a 3ft swell out of the NE, with a 10-second period. The combined energy hits a moderate 161, which is the best we'll see all period. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it choppy. The same goes for Thursday the 10th morning, with a similar 3ft NE swell and a 10-second period, giving us a moderate 146 energy. But again, the wind is on it, cross-onshore and messing things up. It's a beach break setup, and with that onshore wind, it'll be a tough paddle and a bumpy ride. At 3ft it's fine for anyone, but the wind kills the quality.

After that, it's back to tiny stuff. By the 16th and 17th of September, we're looking at 0.7ft again with light glassy conditions on the morning of the 16th, but the swell is so weak it's just a lake.

To be honest, there’s no standout session here, not even a good one. If you're desperate, the best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 10th of September – that 3ft NE swell, despite the cross-onshore breeze, is the only real bump with enough energy to maybe give you a couple of close-outs. It's not a recommendation, it's just what we've got. For a beginner, it'll be fine, but don't expect anything clean. For anyone else, save your energy. The whole run is a write-off until a proper swell shows up.

Stay patient.

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.

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.
