The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it.
Right now, the surf's pretty much a no-go. We've got a long, drawn-out flat spell that stretches from today, Monday the 14th, all the way through to Friday the 25th of September. Don't bother waxing up; it's just a whole lot of nothing with choppy, onshore junk.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Saturday the 26th. Now, Saturday afternoon at Delray Public Beach is where things get interesting. We're looking at a tidy 5ft of swell coming out of the NNE. The wind is set to go glassy – absolute silence on the water – which is a massive win for clean conditions. The combined energy is solid, sitting at 445 (moderate wave energy). The water's a warm 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so a spring suit is all you'll need. It’s a fairly consistent spot, and with the right tide, this is our standout window. Just a heads up, it's a beginner-friendly break, so crowds are possible.
Unfortunately, the weekend magic fades fast. Sunday the 27th sees the morning holding some 5ft NNE swell, but the wind swings cross-shore, messing with the shape. By the afternoon, it’s back to choppy and cross-onshore. It's a short-lived pulse.
After that, the following Monday (28th) and Tuesday (29th) just fizzle back into onshore slop with smaller waves. There's really nothing else to shout about. That Saturday afternoon glass-off is your one and only chance to get a decent wave in.
Stay tuned, forecasts can flip, but for now, that Saturday window is the one to circle.
Rusty.

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.
