The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Flagler Avenue over the next 16 days is a tough one. It's a real quiet stretch, and I'm not seeing a single session that I'd paddle out for. The whole window is basically a write-off for decent surf.
The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so you won't need a thicker wetsuit, but you will need a whole lot of patience.
We're looking at a long, dry gap here. From now through to the end of the forecast period, there's just nothing on offer. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, with heights struggling to hit 3 ft and the combined energy of all swells is pitiful – you're looking at values like 21 (21) or 37 (37) – that's barely a whisper of energy. The direction is coming from the east and southeast, which is all wrong for the spot, and the periods are short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so there's no real push or shape to it.
Even when the wind goes glassy, like on Tuesday the 4th of August morning or Wednesday the 5th of August morning, there's just no swell to make use of it. You'd be sitting on a flat, glassy ocean. It's a shame, but that's how it plays out sometimes.
For a break that's very consistent, a blank run like this is a bit unusual, but it happens. It's likely more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle board. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, because things can change.
Stay tuned, Rusty.

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.
