Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s ahead for our local stretch.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking flat and frustrating. We’ve got a long dry spell on our hands. From now through to the 22nd of July, it’s basically a write-off. Tiny swell, onshore winds most of the time, just poor conditions overall. You’re looking at a solid 13-day stretch where there’s really nothing worth paddling out for. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least a swim would be comfortable.
Things finally start to show a flicker of life around the morning of Wednesday the 23rd of July. That’s our first real glimmer, but it’s not a standout. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the ESE, with a short period of 6 seconds and moderate wave energy (81). Wind is onshore from the ESE at 12 mph, so it’ll be lumpy. That easterly direction is a decent match for the break’s optimum, but the short period means weak, crumbly waves. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but the quality won’t be there.
The best on offer across the whole 16 days? Honestly, there’s no true standout. If I had to pick the least worst window, it would be the morning of Thursday the 24th of July. We’ve got 3ft of swell from the east, period still short at 5 seconds, and moderate energy (60). Wind is onshore from the east at 12 mph, so still not clean. It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s the most consistent push we see. For a beginner at Delray Public Beach, that ankle-to-knee-high slop might be something to play in, but don’t expect any shape.
Everything else is just tiny, weak windswell with onshore or cross-onshore breezes. Honestly, for these next two weeks, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent onshore wind and lack of any proper groundswell. Keep the board in the car and the expectations low.
Rusty.
