Table - best surf conditions forecast for Delray Public Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the menu for Delray Public Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is about as flat as it gets. We are looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with poor quality lasting for days. The combined swell energy is barely ticking over, sitting in the weak range (39 for the best of it, and often down in the single digits). Honestly, for the next week and a half, there’s nothing to get excited about.
For Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, expect messy 1 ft to 2 ft windswell from the NE and S, but those cross-onshore winds are going to chop it right up. Monday the 13th through Friday the 19th is more of the same story – tiny waves, mostly in the 0.5 ft to 2 ft range, and when the wind does ease up to glassy conditions on Thursday the 16th morning and Friday the 17th morning, there’s just no swell to push the waves.
We do finally get a little window of hope on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th. Saturday the 26th morning shows a glassy start with 2 ft from the NE, and the energy climbs just a touch to 20. Then Sunday the 27th morning has some clean conditions with a light cross-off breeze, 3 ft from the SE, and 29 energy. It’s still not big surf, but after such a long dry spell, a clean 3 ft wave on a longboard is going to feel like a gift. This is the best on offer by a country mile.
The water temperature is sitting around average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, but with this outlook I’d be surprised if more than a handful of people bother to paddle out. If you are jonesing, point the car at Sunday the 26th for the cleanest, most hopeful chance of a slide.
Rusty out.

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.
