The Lowdown
Alright, the surf forecast for Delray Public Beach is about as flat as a week-old beer. We’ve got a solid 16 days on the books, and honestly, there’s nothing here that gets a surfer’s heart pumping. For a stretch that long, it’s a real bummer, but it happens.
Right from the start on July 29th, we’re looking at tiny 0.7 ft to 2 ft slop with weak energy (9 to 27). The wind is cross-off a lot of the time, so the water will look clean, but there just isn’t enough push. This flat spell hangs on day after day. Through the end of July and well into the first week of August, swell heights barely crack 2 ft, with periods so short (3 to 5 seconds) they don’t have any grunt. The combined energy stays in the weak range (5 to 68), meaning no power behind any of it.
Toward August 7th, the wind gets cranky out of the north at 25 mph, which cleans things up temp, but the swell is still just 2 ft with a short period. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with those strong breezes. From August 8th through the 13th, it’s back to the same story: onshore wind, tiny waves, and nothing but poor surf conditions. The final days show some slight improvement in period up to 9 seconds, but the swell is only 1.0 ft to 2 ft, so it’s still a no-go.
The toughest part is that Delray Public Beach is "fairly consistent" that means it usually produces more than this. So this 16-day run is a real outlier. Forecasts can always change, but as it stands right now, you’re better off doing something else.
