The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a quiet stretch ahead. The first decent wave of any kind doesn’t show up until the 15th of August, and even then it’s nothing to get overly excited about. We’ve got a solid run of days from now until then with surf that’s really not worth paddling out for – tiny, choppy, and mostly blown out by onshore winds.
The best option in the whole window is Delray Public Beach on Saturday the 15th of August. We’ve got a bit of a pulse coming in from the SE, pushing the swell up to around 3 ft. The combined energy is moderate at best (59), so it’s not going to be a day of pumping barrels, but it’s the most size we’ll see. The wind is going to be an issue though – it’s onshore from the ESE at 12 mph, which will make things a bit bumpy. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and crowds are possible, so if you’re just looking to get wet and practice your pop-ups, this is your window. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing crazy there.
The days leading up to that are pretty flat. From the 8th through to the 14th, the swell is tiny – mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft – and the wind is consistently cross-on or onshore, making for messy, weak conditions. The combined energy barely breaks 30 on most days. It’s a real lull.
After the 15th, it drops back off again. The 16th and 17th see the swell shrink back to 1.0 ft to 1 ft, and while the period lengthens a touch by the 19th and 20th (up to 12-13 seconds), the swell height is still too small to make anything of it. The energy stays in the weak range (mostly 30-80). The 22nd and 23rd see a little NE groundswell with a longer period of 11 seconds, but with only 1 ft of height and onshore winds, it’s not going to light up.
So, the honest truth: the 15th of August is your best bet, and it’s still a struggle. It’s a lean spell, lads. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because this kind of flat run can’t last forever.
Rusty.
