The Lowdown
Well, folks, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is about as quiet as I’ve seen it for Delray Public Beach. Looking through the whole 16-day window, there’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and every single entry is marked as “poor surf conditions.” It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
The water temperature is sitting around 86°F right now, which is about 1°F warmer than normal for this time of year—so it’s pretty average, nothing to write home about. But the waves? Forget it. The first week, from Monday 3rd August all the way through to Sunday 9th, we’ve got swell heights barely scraping 1 ft to 4 ft, and the periods are short—4 to 6 seconds—so there’s zero push. The combined energy is weak, topping out at just 126 (moderate) on Saturday morning, but even then the wind is onshore from the ESE at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. The rest of the time, the energy is in the double digits, like 18 or 14, which is just feeble.
After that, from Monday 10th August through to Tuesday 18th, it doesn’t get any better. Swell heights drop to 0.7 ft to 2 ft, periods are still short, and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore from the SE or ESE. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday 18th morning where the wind shifts to WSW at 6 mph, giving a clean cross-off breeze, but with only 0.7 ft of swell and a combined energy of 14, it’s a total flatty. Not even a ripple worth riding.
So, what’s the takeaway? There’s absolutely no standout session here. The whole 16 days is a blank run. This area tends to see these quiet stretches, so it’s not out of the ordinary, but it’s frustrating if you’re keen. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say leave the board at home and maybe take up kite surfing if you’re desperate—the wind is consistent enough for that, but the surf is a no-go.
