The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our local stretch of sand.
To be straight with you, the next two weeks are looking pretty quiet for any decent surf. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak energy and a lot of onshore wind. The first real pulse of energy doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 9th of September, but even then, the conditions are messy. Up until then, it’s all flat, choppy, and cross-on – not worth paddling out for.
The water temp is running 87°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your wetsuit if you wear one.
The only break on the cards is Delray Public Beach. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but it’s exposed to the east and the swell direction is mostly from the NE and E. The problem is, the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things messy.
Now, the best of a pretty average bunch is shaping up for Saturday the 19th of September. The early morning session looks okay. The swell bumps up to 4ft, coming from the north-northeast, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy will be pushing moderate levels at 163, which is the strongest we’ll see in the whole window. The wind is light from the east, just a light breeze, so it’s cross-on but not too messy. This is the only time the numbers look like you might find a few fun, crumbly lines for a longboard or a foamie. It’s still not a standout, but it’s the only window where the swell has any real push. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
The rest of the second week is a washout. From the 14th to the 18th, we’ve got small swell, onshore wind, and energy levels that barely tickle the 100 mark. It’s a real desert out there.
Stay patient, keep your board waxed, and check back with me. Things can change.
Rusty.
