The Lowdown

Alright folks, let's be honest about this forecast. It's a dry spell. For the next week and a half, you're looking at knee-high dribble and almost no energy at all. We're talking about a serious stretch of flatness through the end of next week.

There might be a tiny blip on Monday the 24th morning. A small wave, around 1ft, with a long period, but the energy behind it is weak. The wind will be glassy, which is nice, but it's not going to be worth rushing out for.

Then we go quiet again until Thursday the 27th. That morning, we finally get a pulse. Wave heights push up to about 2ft, with a 12-second period from the east. The energy jumps into a moderate range, and we have a gentle offshore wind lining it up. This is the best we've got. But Flagler Avenue is a beach and jetty spot, and a longer-period swell like this can make it a bit wonky and shut down. It's not going to be a classic.

Friday the 28th morning is also in the mix with similar size and an offshore wind, but the energy backs off a bit, so Thursday looks like your best bet.

So, mark your calendar for the 27th. It's the pick of a very average bunch. Water temp is warm at 30°, which is normal for the season, so the only thing you have to worry about is boredom. Stay patient, boys and girls.

Rusty, out.

Information about the Flagler Avenue Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Flagler Avenue provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Flagler Avenue can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Flagler Avenue 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 (Flagler Avenue) 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 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.
