Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flagler Avenue over the next 16 days.
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for Flagler Avenue.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring. There’s no real swell to speak of, and the wave energy stays weak across the whole 16-day window. The first hint of anything surfable shows up on Friday morning, July 25th, but it’s a long wait – about two weeks with hardly a ripple worth paddling for.
Friday, July 10 to Thursday, July 24 – This stretch is basically a write-off. Swell heights are tiny, mostly between 0.7 ft and 3 ft, and the combined wave energy is almost always under 100 (mostly in the 5 to 104 range), meaning weak, gutless conditions. Winds are often cross or cross-on, and when it’s glassy or offshore – like Sunday morning July 12 (WSW 3 mph, glassy) or Monday morning July 13 (SW 3 mph, clean) – there’s just no swell to work with. Even the afternoons that show a bit more energy, like Tuesday July 14 afternoon with 2 ft from the ESE and 101 energy, are still plagued by cross-on wind and just poor quality. It’s all flagged as poor surf conditions. Not a single standout.
Friday, July 25 – Finally, there’s a glimmer. Saturday morning, July 25, brings a clean 2 ft swell from the ESE with an 8-second period, light offshore wind from the SW at 6 mph, and combined energy of 50. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best of the bunch, but let’s not kid ourselves – it’s tiny, weak, and only just rideable for beginners or longboarders. The water is warm at 85°F, which is about average for this time of year. Crowds are possible at Flagler Avenue, it’s a beach/jetty setup that’s very consistent, but with this lack of size, it’ll likely be quiet.
Bottom line: there’s no proper swell in the forecast, and it’s a long, dry spell until that tiny bump on the 25th. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that Saturday morning might offer a few ankle-biters with clean conditions, but don’t expect much. For now, the kites might have more fun than us surfers in these conditions.
Stay patient, Rusty.

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 Flagler Avenue 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.
