The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Delray Public Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim stretch. The entire 16-day window looks flat and blown-out, with nothing that even resembles a proper surf session. We’re looking at a solid two-week gap with no real recommendations, which for this area is a tough run, but not unheard of.
The first few days, from Wednesday the 9th through the weekend, are all about small, weak, onshore slop. We’re talking ankle to knee-high mush at best, with combined swell energies barely getting into the double digits or low hundreds (like 97 and 106), and the wind is either directly on it or cross-onshore. The wave period is also short, mostly between 4 and 8 seconds, so there's no push or shape. Even a beginner would be bored. The water temp is sitting around 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't care because you won't be out there.
Moving into the second week, from September 16th onwards, the pattern stays the same – tiny waves with cross-onshore winds chopping up whatever minimal bump there is. Swell heights creep up to 3 ft on a few days around the 21st, from the NNE, and the combined energy finally breaks back into the low 100s (105 and 106), but the wind remains onshore or cross-onshore. The period is still a short, weak 8 seconds. It looks like the wind will be ripping at times, especially on the 23rd with a fresh breeze creating lumpy, cross-onshore conditions. That is more of a kiteboarder’s playground than a surfer’s.
There is just no standout session here. It’s a flat spell with persistent bad wind. The best advice I can give is to leave the board in the car and wait for a change in the forecast.

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.
