The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's not sugarcoat it – the next couple of weeks are looking real flat. We've got a long stretch with nothing much to ride.
The only spot on the list is Delray Public Beach, and it's a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. There's a big gap of no surf, and even when the tiniest bump shows, the quality is just not there.
Starting off on Thursday, July 23rd, we get a tiny 2ft swell from the east, but it's weak with a combined energy of just (21) and a 4-second period – that's just messy wind chop. The sea breeze is on it, making it choppy. Not worth the paddle.
The pattern holds. Friday the 24th, the swell drops to 1ft. The wind is better on Friday morning with an onshore breeze, but it's still tiny. Saturday through to the end of the month, we're looking at swell heights between 0.3ft and 1ft. The period is short, around 7 to 8 seconds, and the energy readings are in the single digits or low teens. For example, Sunday the 26th morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 1ft with a combined energy of (16). You'd be floating more than surfing.
There are a few clean moments, like the morning of Tuesday the 28th with a cross-offshore breeze, or Thursday the 30th afternoon with a proper offshore wind, but the swell is practically non-existent at 0.3ft to 0.7ft. The water temperature is sitting at 86°, which is about 1° warmer than normal for this time of year – so at least it's warm for a swim.
Heading into the first week of August, it's more of the same. There's a slight bump on Sunday, August 2nd, with the afternoon showing a 2ft swell from the southeast and a combined energy of (40) – the highest we see in the whole period. The wind is cross-offshore and clean. That's probably the best of a bad bunch, but with a 2ft swell and an 8-second period, it's still a knee-high day at best. The rest of the window – Monday the 3rd through to Friday the 7th of August – is just tiny, weak, and often onshore or choppy. Nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, this is a classic flat spell for this area. The weather patterns just aren't lining up to push any real swell our way. For a beginner, even the tiny stuff might be afloat, but for anyone else, it's a drought. Keep your board in the car, but don't hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a long wait.
Rusty.
