The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same grim outlook, but in feet and miles per hour.
The next 16 days at Delray Public Beach are a total washout. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, blown-out conditions with no real surf to speak of. The water temperature is about 87°, which is a degree warmer than usual for September – feels like a warm bath, but that’s the only highlight.
On September 2nd, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE, with a short period around 10 seconds and a cross-onshore wind at 6 mph. The combined energy is a weak 46, and it’s just poor. That theme sticks. September 3rd and 4th bring even smaller waves, with periods dropping to 5 seconds or less – that’s wind slop, not surf. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, keeping everything choppy and messy.
There’s a little bump on September 9th. Wednesday morning, the swell hits 2ft from the NE, period 8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 121 (moderate). By Wednesday afternoon, it’s 3ft from the NE, period 10 seconds, and energy hits 171. That’s the best we’ll see, but it’s still not good. The wind is onshore from the E and SE, so it’s still messy. For a beginner spot, anything over 5ft is too much, but we don’t even get close. The NE swell direction is off from the optimum E direction, so the waves will be poorly shaped.
After that, it fades back to nothing. September 14th and 15th have some 1ft-2ft swell, but with onshore winds and short periods, it’s just bumpy. The last few days, September 16th and 17th, show a tiny 3ft-3ft swell from the E with a period of 5 seconds – that’s pure wind swell with no power. The energy is weak, in the 30s and 40s.
Honestly, this looks more like a kiteboarding spot than a surf spot right now. The waves are tiny, weak, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross. There’s not a single standout day. The break is fairly consistent, but with no swell, it doesn’t matter. Forecasts can change, and it usually doesn’t stay this flat for long, but for now, don’t bother waxing up. This is a total dud.
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.

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.
