The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and sit down, because I’m going to level with you. The truth is, for Delray Public Beach over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a bit of a flat spell. There’s practically no rideable swell on the table for the entire run, from Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to Wednesday the 12th of August. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 87°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a dip will feel nice.
Right out of the gate, Tuesday the 28th morning is clean with a light cross-off breeze from the SW at 9 mph, but the swell is a tiny 0.7 ft from the ENE with a short 8-second period. The combined wave energy is a paltry 13 (weak). It’s just not enough to push you down the line. Tuesday arvo gets a bit messy with a risk of storms and a cross-shore wind.
Wednesday the 29th stays clean with a WSW breeze, but again, we’re stuck on that 0.7 ft, 8-second E swell. The energy drops to just 9. It’s a total non-starter.
The whole first week stays in this rut. Thursday the 30th sees the height actually drop to 0.3 ft with a 10-second period from the NE – a longer period, but no height means no wave. The winds are light and clean all week, but without any push from the ocean, clean conditions mean nothing for surfing.
Heading into the weekend (Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd), the swell tries to bump up a tiny bit, hitting maybe 2 ft to 2 ft on Sunday arvo from the SSE/SE, but the period drops out to just 3 or 4 seconds – that’s pure wind slop, not a groundswell. The wind swings onshore from the SSE, so it’ll be choppy and messy. The combined energy finally creeps into the teens and low 20s (moderate), but the quality is poor. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the onshore wind and small, weak swells.
The second week doesn't offer any relief. From Monday the 3rd of August right through to Wednesday the 12th of August, we see a repeating pattern: tiny waves (0.7 ft to 2 ft) from the SE, ESE, or NE, with periods mostly under 8 seconds and onshore to cross-onshore winds from the SSE or ESE. The energy rarely gets above 30 (moderate at best). It’s just flat or blown out.
Don't get me wrong – Delray Public Beach is a fairly consistent spot with a good exposure to the E, and the offshore winds blow from the WNW, so it usually has its moments. But this window? It’s a total drought. The best advice I can give is to wait for the next forecast update. It tends not to stay this poor for long.
