The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s coming our way for the next 16 days. I gotta be straight with you right off the bat – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing for a long, long time.

From now through to the end of July and well into the first week of August, it’s a desert. We’re talking a solid 13 days with barely a ripple to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the energy is almost non-existent, and wave quality is consistently described as poor. You’d be better off taking up golf or polishing your board. For the first few days, the water is a warm 86 °F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re sitting there waiting.

The only flicker of something surfable appears on the horizon around Saturday, August 1st in the afternoon. Delray Public Beach might see a bump to 3 ft of S-SSE swell, with a clean offshore breeze from the WNW. The wave energy climbs to a weak 36, but the period is a tiny 4 seconds, so it’ll be a lumpy mess without any drive. Still, it’s the best we’ve seen, so if you’re desperate for a paddle, it’s your best bet. The wind will be light and offshore, keeping it clean.

Then we go back into the doldrums until Saturday, August 8th in the afternoon. We get a sneak of a longer period swell at 11 seconds from the NE, pushing 1 ft with combined energy up to 41. It’s a tiny little groundswell but that longer period might offer a half-decent shape. That’s a long way out though, so don’t book the time off work just yet.

Honestly, this is a classic flat spell for the area. When it goes quiet like this, it can hang around. The waves are just too small to be worth the hassle. I’m calling this one a write-off unless you’re after a float.

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. Our Delray Public Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Delray Public Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
