The Lowdown
Alright, let me give you the straight-up truth about what’s coming for Delray Public Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a rough stretch. You’re looking at a long, long gap with pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The surf is tiny, the energy is weak, and the wind is mostly rubbish. I’m talking from Sunday the 30th of August all the way through to Monday the 14th of September, it’s one of those blank runs that really tests your patience. The wave energy is barely registering, mostly in the double digits, like 20 or 30 or even lower, which is just sad. There’s a tiny spike to 83 on the afternoon of Wednesday the 2nd of September, but that’s still weak energy, and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore breeze, so you’re still looking at chop and poor conditions.
Way out there, on Monday the 14th of September, the morning shows a small bump in swell. The combined energy hits 56, which is still weak, but it’s something. You’ve got a 3ft swell coming from the NE with a period of 6 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, not a groundswell, so the shape won’t be great, and with that wind sitting cross-onshore from the ENE, it’ll be a bit bumpy. For a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break like Delray Public Beach, this is about the best you’re gonna get in that 16-day window, but it’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a “maybe have a look” situation, not a “call in sick” situation.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Look, it’s a tough outlook. This area just isn’t delivering right now. A blank run like this is more normal for the area than you’d hope, but forecasts can always change. For now, you might be better off checking if the wind and small swell make it more interesting for a kite session than a paddle, because for surfing, it’s a flat, choppy, and frustrating few weeks.
