Hello Phil,

Delray might be the easiest and closet launch. You know the spot at the south end of the public beach about 1 mile south of Atlantic Avenue and just south of Casurina.

A bit further north is a park about 3/4 mile south of the Boynton Inlet.

There is south of the inlet itself but the beach there is guarded so I wouldn't try to launch on the public portion. HIGHFLYN rides up that way pretty often and could provide some more specific info.

Regarding Jupiter, most of the guys launch about 1 mile to the north of the Juno Pier in Juno.

I am not sure what the story is with Jupiter Inlet as the south end has lifeguards. The north end covered up with expensive homes. I suspect you might have to walk in from a long way away.

I am not quite sure what the waves will be doing with stronger SE winds. With stronger N to NE we can pickup some great swells at all the locations, particularly Boynton Inlet south of the channel. Let us know how it goes and have fun!

NB- watch out for squalls, there is no shortage of violent storms these days. We had a gust spike to about 55 mph early this morning, another one hit about an hour ago with wind running up into the 40's. I would check color radar, on your cell phone if possible,
