The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Delray Beach over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch for the foreseeable future. There’s a whole lot of nothing happening, and the few tiny bumps that show up are just not worth the paddle.
The forecast kicks off on Sunday, August 2nd, and we’ve got a few days of near-flat junk. Swell is tiny, maxing out at a weak 3 ft, pouring in from the SE with a short, snappy period of only 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly (33) – that’s weak enough to make a pond jealous. The wind is a messy cross-onshore, and the water temp is sitting at a balmy 86°, which is about 1° warmer than usual for this time of year, so not much to write home about. The whole first week is a write-off. We’re talking about a solid 6-day gap from Sunday through to Friday where there’s simply nothing surfable.
Things get a little more interesting, but not by much, around Friday, August 7th. The swell bumps up to a poor-quality 5 ft out of the E, with a period of just 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to (144) – so there’s some water moving, but it’s messy. The wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore, making it lumpy and ugly. The setup here is a straight beach break, and with onshore winds and junky wind swell, this is more interesting for kite surfing than anything you’d want to paddle into. It’s a tough call for experts, let alone beginners.
The following week remains a bust. Saturday, August 8th, shows a drop-off in swell energy, and from there it’s a slow bleed into flatness. Morning of Sunday, August 16th, is the real low point with a swell of a pitiful 1 ft from the SSE, and the energy is barely a whisper at (18). The last day I see, Monday, August 17th, is a flat, choppy mess with 0.7 ft of wind swell.
There is no standout session here. In fact, there is no surfable session at all. For this area, a blank run like this is more normal than you’d hope. Forecasts can change, but right now, hang the board up and go find something else to do.
Rusty.
