The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a real flat spell on our hands. This whole 16-day stretch is looking like a total write-off for any kind of decent surf. There isn’t a single recommendation to get excited about, so let’s be honest about it from the start. The first good chance doesn’t come until Thursday the 30th of July, and even then, it’s a tough sell.
The only spot in the game is Delray Public Beach. The water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s pumping.
Let’s run through it. Thursday morning the 30th has a tiny 0.3ft wave from the NE with a 9-second period. Combined energy is a measly (5), so it’s barely a ripple. The wind is cross-off, which would be nice if there was anything to ride. Thursday afternoon goes glassy, but the swell drops to 1ft with a 3-second period and energy is still flat. It’s just poor.
Friday the 31st is more of the same: 0.3ft and 0.3ft. The winds are light cross-off or onshore. Saturday the 1st of August kicks off with a 0.7ft wave from the E, period 8 seconds, energy (8). By the afternoon, a bit of small SE swell bumps up to 2ft, but the period is a weak 3 seconds and the energy only hits (14). The wind is cross-on and choppy, so it’s a mess.
Sunday the 2nd through to the end of the forecast on Friday the 14th of August? It’s the same sad story. Wave heights bob around from 0.7ft to 3ft, but the periods are short, the energy never gets past (50), and the wind is nearly always onshore or cross-on. The best you’ll see is a 3ft wave on Thursday morning the 6th of August from the E, but it’s got a short 5-second period, onshore wind, and the energy is only (50). It’s flat, choppy, and only really interesting for a kite if you’re desperate to get wet.
This is a blank run. For this area, it’s not unusual to have a stretch like this. The consistency is just not there. Don’t hold your breath – forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to paddle for.
Rusty.

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.
