The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for Delray Public Beach. The swell is tiny and the wind is a mess. The pattern is just a long run of small, weak, choppy conditions. We’re talking a full week of barely any surf. The models show the combined energy of all swells sitting at a measly 11 to 46 for the first few days. It’s a real flat spell.
The first real pulse of energy shows up on the 7th of August, Friday afternoon. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the East, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s enough to get the board wet, but the easterly wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it pretty choppy. The combined energy hits 215 later that day, but it’s not clean. The water is about average for this time of year.
The options stay slim. Saturday the 8th sees the swell drop back down, and we’re back to tiny, poor surf. The wind doesn’t give us a break. The best chance we get is on the 17th of August, Monday afternoon. The swell is a modest 3 ft from the southeast, but for the first time we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 3 mph. That’s the cleanest it’s going to get. The combined energy is 67, and the report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It’s not a standout, but it’s the only window that’s not blown out.
So, no true standouts here. It’s a waiting game. Keep an eye on the long-range forecasts, but for now, the board stays in the car.
