The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking flat. There's a long stretch of nothing worthwhile here.
The water temperature is sitting at about 86°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit, but you won't need a board either unless you're just floating.
The only spot in the game is Delray Public Beach. On Tuesday the 21st of July, we see a tiny, weak swell from the SE at 3 feet, but with a short period of just 4 seconds and a combined wave energy of only 36, it's pure junk. The wind is a messy cross-onshore, so it's choppy and frustrating. Nothing changes for the next few weeks. The swell stays tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping it all messy. There are a few mornings with clean, glassy conditions, like on the 26th of July, the 27th, the 30th, and again on the 3rd and 5th of August, but the swell is barely a ripple. The biggest day in the whole run is the 5th of August, with a tiny 3 feet swell from the ESE, but the period is still a weak 5 seconds, and the energy is only 35. It's a long, boring stretch.
For a beginner, even the small stuff is too weak to learn on. For anyone else, it's a write-off. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle, but even that's a stretch.
This is a normal blank run for this area. It happens.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Delray Public Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
