The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are going to be a real struggle around here. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for.
Right from the start, through Friday morning and afternoon, the swell is tiny—only 3ft at best, but with a weak, short-period 6-second wind swell from the ENE. The wind is onshore at 12 mph, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is a measly 127. It’s blown-out, messy, and just not worth the wax. The water temperature sits at a warm 86°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight.
The whole weekend into the middle of next week is a total washout. Saturday morning has 3ft from the ESE with a 5-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore and moderate. Sunday through Tuesday sees the swell drop to a pathetic 2ft or less. By Wednesday and Thursday morning, we’re down to 0.7ft with a cross-onshore breeze. The wave energy numbers are in the teens and single digits—weak, weak, weak. For a beginner-friendly beach break like Delray Public Beach, there’s just nothing to ride.
We’ve got a gap of about 8 days with no real surf. The following Saturday (15th August) we see a little bump up to 2ft, but it’s a short-period 5-second wind swell with a moderate cross-onshore wind, so it’s choppy and poor. The next day (16th August) is similar—3ft from the SE, but again the wind is cross-onshore, and the energy is only 35. Not a single day in this entire outlook shows a decent, clean, rideable wave.
The only slight whisper of hope is towards the very end of the period, on Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st. We get a slightly longer period—10 seconds and 9 seconds—with swell from the ESE and NE. The heights are still small at 1ft, but the wind is light onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy nudges up to 54 on Thursday morning. That’s still not enough to get excited about for a paddle, but it’s the best we’ll see. It’s a long way off, and for a beach break, that low period and small size won’t offer much.
Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer if the wind picks up. For us paddle surfers, it’s a flat spell. Hang in there, check back in a few days—forecasts can change.
Rusty.
