The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story but in feet and miles. Let’s talk about Delray Public Beach.
It’s a long, quiet outlook for the next couple of weeks. The waves are tiny, mostly knee-high or less, with the biggest pulse coming in at about 3 feet on Wednesday, September 9th. The wave energy for that one hits a moderate range (151-157 combined), but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore out of the ENE, making it choppy. The water is about 87°, a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, which is nice for a swim but doesn’t help the surf.
For the whole first week, the swell is weak – wave energy reading as low as 4 to 49 – with short periods of 4 to 10 seconds, so it’s all windswell mess. Wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave comments keep saying “poor surf conditions.” The morning of Thursday, September 10th, has a little leftover energy (116) with lighter wind, but still cross-onshore.
After that, from Friday the 11th through the end of the forecast, it drops back to flat – 0.6ft to 1ft – with energy in the teens and tens. No clean windows, no standouts. The consistency is “fairly consistent” for small junk, but quality is zero.
If you want the best of a bad lot, the morning of September 9th offers the most size, but expect chop. Otherwise, it’s a blank run. For a beach like this, a stretch this quiet happens, but I wouldn’t count on anything until the pattern shifts.
