The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the skinny on your local stretch. The next couple of weeks are looking flat as a pancake for the most part, so don't get your hopes up.
We've got a long, quiet spell ahead. The first real chance of anything worthy of a paddle-out doesn't show up until we're well into next week. The only real standout in the whole 16-day window is a brief window of activity around Thursday, August 20th.
Our go-to spot, Delray Public Beach, is a fairly consistent beginner-friendly break, fairly exposed to the east. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
From now through to mid-week, it's a write-off. Tiny windswell from the east and southeast, mostly onshore breezes, and weak wave energy. Just a whole lot of nothing. A few light cross-onshore days with barely a bump.
Things stay pretty grim until the 19th. Wednesday morning is still flat, but by Wednesday afternoon, we see a shift. A long-period groundswell from the ESE with a period of 12 seconds starts to show. The period is significant – it’s a longer period that can offer some shape, but the combined energy is still moderate at best. It's also glassy in the afternoon with a little NW wind, but the waves are described as "very ordinary".
That brings us to the one and only highlight. Thursday, August 20th is your best bet in this entire outlook. You'll get a clean 4 ft swell from the NE, with a gentile offshore wind from the West in the morning. That offshore wind is a major positive – it'll groom the surface and make for some clean little waves. The waves are still "very ordinary" quality but this is about as close to a decent surf session as you're going to get in this forecast. It's small, beginner-friendly stuff.
Friday the 21st rolls back into the doldrums with a tiny, weak, offshore-chopped mess, and the whole second week after that is more of the same – flat, onshore, and not worth the wax.
Bottom line: For this region, it's a long, quiet run. Don't expect anything until that Thursday, August 20th, for a tiny, clean window. The rest is a bust.
