The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, I’ve got to be straight with you – this stretch is a real flat spell. The first surf worth paddling out for isn’t even on the calendar. We’re looking at a long, blank run right through the entire forecast period with no real surf recommendations emerging. For Delray Public Beach, not a single session gets a nod. The water’s sitting at a warm 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth noting.
The swell is tiny, barely a ripple. The best we see is a miserable 3ft on the morning of the 29th of August, coming from the ESE, but with a period of only 4 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, no push. The combined energy hits a paltry 39 (weak energy), but it’s still paired with a moderate breeze, so it’s messy. After that, it’s all 0.3ft to 2ft sea, with onshore and cross-onshore winds from the SE, E, and ENE. The wind is mostly light to moderate, but it’s never clean offshore. It’s a consistent run of poor surf conditions, day after day.
For a beach break like Delray, when the swell is this weak and the wind is on it, it’s more of a paddle than a surf. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a bit of kite surfing than paddle surfing on a few of those breezier afternoons. It’s a tough run, but this area can go quiet, and forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
