The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what we’re looking at for our local beaches.
Right off the bat, it’s flat and quiet. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until Wednesday, September 9th, which is a long stretch of almost two weeks with barely a ripple. That first real surfable moment comes then, and it’s not exactly pumping.
The only break with a pulse is Delray Public Beach. Water temp is 87°F, a touch warmer than normal for the time of year. The standout window is the morning of Wednesday the 9th. We’re looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the NE, with a period of 12 seconds. That period gives it some proper groundswell character, and combined energy is 91 (moderate wave energy). Winds are glassy, so it should be clean and smooth. That’s about as good as it gets across the whole 16 days. After that, it’s back to small, messy surf, with onshore winds and thunderstorm threats dominating the rest of the outlook.
With such small waves and onshore winds most days, this stretch is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the bulk of the period. This area usually isn’t this quiet for this long, but sometimes you just have to wait.
Keep an eye on that Wednesday morning – it’s the only real chance for a session.
Rusty.

Information about the Delray Public Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Delray Public Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Delray Public Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Delray Public Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Delray Public Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
