The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell. The surf just isn’t showing up. The first recommendation doesn’t come until Saturday the 1st of August, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, with no real standout days to get excited about. It’s one of those periods where you’d be better off checking the forecast again in a few days, because right now, it’s pretty flat.

The only break on the radar is Delray Public Beach. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but it’s facing east and that’s where we need the swell to come from. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Let’s walk through it. Saturday morning, the 1st of August, we’ve got a tiny 0.7ft of east swell, but it’s got a short 8-second period. The combined energy is a weak 9, and the wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface might be clean, but there’s nothing to ride. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and picks up to 16 mph, turning it into a mess.

Sunday the 2nd sees a bit more energy, with a combined energy of 24, but it’s onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms. The swell is still tiny, around 2ft, and the period is a pathetic 4 seconds. Not worth paddling out.

Monday the 3rd is more of the same. The swell stays around 2ft to 2ft, the period is short, and the wind is messy. The combined energy creeps up to 26, but it’s still all cross-onshore chop. The water is warm, but the waves are not.

For the rest of the first week, from Tuesday the 4th through to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s a constant loop of small, weak swell with onshore winds. The combined energy fluctuates between 15 and 38, but it’s never enough to overcome the poor conditions. The swell direction shifts around from east to southeast, but the period rarely gets above 5 seconds. It’s flat, it’s choppy, and it’s frustrating.

The second week doesn’t bring any relief. From Monday the 10th of August through to Sunday the 16th, the swell height tries to push up to 4ft on the 11th and 12th, but the period stays stubbornly short at 5 seconds. The combined energy peaks at 67, which is still weak, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, up to 16 mph. It’s a blown-out, small, weak mess.

Honestly, this is a blank run. There’s nothing here for a surfer. The conditions are consistently poor, the swell is tiny, and the wind is wrong. It’s one of those times where the ocean just doesn’t want to play ball. Keep an eye on the forecast, because it can’t stay this bad forever.

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.
