The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. I've looked over the next 16 days for Delray Public Beach, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The forecast shows almost nothing but small, weak waves which means we're looking at a long, quiet period.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 87°, about 2° above what's normal for this time of year, so that's pretty average and comfortable.
Alright, let's run through it. The forecast starts on Friday, 21 August, but there's no surf worth talking about. It's ankle-biters at best with a tiny 0.7 ft easterly swell and a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 13 (weak energy), and the wind is a light cross-shore. It's basically flat. This pattern of nothingness stretches on for days and days. Saturday the 22nd has a glassy morning but with only 0.7 ft on offer, you're just floating around. Sunday the 23rd through to the end of the month is more of the same – tiny swells, onshore winds, and combined energy readings mostly in the teens and twenties. There's a morning on Saturday, 29 August, that's glassy, but with only 2 ft from the ESE and a period of 4 seconds, it's barely a ripple.
The first week of September brings no relief. The first recommendation is a morning on Thursday, 3 September, with a glassy 1.0 ft easterly swell and a 9-second period. The combined energy is only 22 (weak energy). It's clean but tiny. The best looking day in the whole 16-day window is Friday morning, 4 September, with glassy conditions, a light offshore wind from the WNW, and a 0.7 ft, 8-second easterly swell. The combined energy is a pathetic 5 (weak energy). That's about as good as it gets, and it's not saying much.
Honestly, Delray Beach is showing us nothing but flat, small, and weak conditions for the entire outlook. The setup looks more interesting for a paddleboard than a surfboard. Don't hold your breath, but forecasts can change.
Rusty.
