The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with each other – this next couple of weeks is going to be a real test of patience down at Delray Public Beach. I’ve looked long and hard, and to be honest, the surf is just not happening.
We are looking at a dry spell that stretches from now, Friday the 7th of August, all the way through to the end of the 16-day window we can see. There is not a single day during that period where the conditions come together for a decent paddle. The waves are tiny, the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy just isn't there.
For the first week right through to the 14th of August, it’s all about knee-high dribble with a messy onshore chop. The swell heights barely push past 3 ft, but with short, weak periods and the wind blowing straight into it, it’s going to be a close-out fest. The energy readings are weak, which tells you the ocean is flat out tired.
Things pick up a touch in the second week from the 15th of August, but it's a cruel tease. On the 15th and 16th, we see the swell bump up to 3 ft from the SE, but that SE wind cranks up to 15 mph, turning it into a choppy mess. Even on the 22nd of August, a similar sized swell from the NE is ruined by a strong onshore wind and the threat of storms.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°F, which is pretty average for the time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you stare at the flatness.
There’s just nothing to get excited about here. This is one of those classic Florida flat spells where you are better off taking the board in for a repair or just finding a different hobby for a bit. The setup is so wind-affected and weak that honestly, it looks more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a paddle board. It’s a blank run. Don’t hold your breath, but forecasts can change. For now, we wait.

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.
