The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat. A few moments might be worth a look, but mostly it’s a waiting game.
The first bit of action is on Tuesday afternoon, August 18th at A Street. It’s a sandbar, good for beginners, but the swell is tiny at 1ft from the ESE. The wind is cross-off from the SSE at 9 mph, keeping it clean. The combined energy is weak (67). It’s surfable, but nothing special.
The water temp is 84°F, right on average for the season.
From Wednesday, August 19th through Monday, August 24th, it’s a dead zone. The waves are there but the quality is poor. Swell heights stay tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft, with messy winds. There are some glassy mornings on Thursday, August 20th and Friday, August 21st, but with only 1ft of weak, short-period (8 seconds) swell, it’s not worth paddling out.
The one real standout is way out on Thursday, August 27th. The morning shows 1ft from the E with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, but it’s small. The wind is offshore from the SW at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is moderate (101). By the afternoon, it goes glassy with a risk of thunderstorms, and the energy is even better (124), but the wave height is still only 1ft. This is the best on offer in the 16-day window. The long period means the sets will be slow and walled at A Street, so it’s not a classic shape, but it’s the cleanest you’ll get.
The days after, August 28th to September 2nd, are a mix of “surfable but very ordinary” and “poor.” The swell stays around 1ft to 2ft, with some moderate energy (up to 122) on the 28th afternoon, but the wind is cross or cross-on, chopping it up. The mornings on August 30th (Sunday) and September 2nd (Wednesday) offer glassy or offshore winds, but the swell is too small to get excited about.
Bottom line: it’s a quiet stretch. The best bet is Thursday, August 27th for those clean, glassy windows, but don’t expect any waves over your knees. It’s a long-period groundswell with good energy hiding underneath. If you’re a beginner, the tiny wave on Tuesday afternoon is your safest bet.
Rusty.

Information about the A Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for A Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at A Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our A Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (A Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 A Street 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.
A Street is 26 km (16 miles) from Palm Coast. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Palm Coast. Palm Coast has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
