The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this outlook for Delray Public Beach is a tough one. We're looking at a long, flat spell ahead.

Right now, and for the foreseeable future, there's just nothing doing. The water temperature is sitting at a balmy 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight. The first surf recommendation doesn't pop up, and we're staring down a blank run that stretches all the way from today through to the end of the 16-day window.

The combined wave energy is in the doldrums, mostly single-digit or low two-digit numbers (2-115), but for the vast majority of the period it's under 100, which is about as weak as it gets. The swell is tiny, never getting above 3 ft, and the periods are short – usually 4 to 9 seconds. That's windswell junk, not real groundswell. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it's chopped up and messy.

We do see a slight pulse mid-week, around Wednesday the 9th through Friday the 11th, with the swell bumping up to 2-3 ft from the NE, but the period is short at 8-9 seconds and the wind is choppy. It’s just not enough to get excited about. After that, it fades back into the tiny, blown-out stuff.

For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a rough run. But don't throw the board in the shed just yet – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.

Stay tuned, but for now, it's a skip.

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.
