The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The next couple weeks at Flagler Avenue are a classic tale of two halves. The first stretch is a total washout. We’ve got a long gap of days with nothing remotely rideable—just small, weak waves with a cross-shore chop ruining any chance of a clean face. It’s a real test of patience.
Your first sniff of anything wave-like comes on the 17th, but it’s still pretty weak. There’s a clean morning with not a breath of wind, but the swell is tiny. Not worth stretching for.
The real story begins on the 20th. That Thursday morning shows a jump in size and period, with a clean offshore wind. But the standout is definitely the afternoon. The swell picks up, the period stretches, and the ocean goes glassy. The wave energy is strong, with combined numbers reaching 867, a solid sign of real power. This is your window. The sandbar at Flagler Avenue should finally have some shape to it.
After that, it fades back to the small stuff. The 21st and 22nd have a few cleaner moments, but nothing with any grunt.
Water temp is about 83°, which is actually a touch below average for August. Not a big deal.
So, keep your board waxed for that Thursday, August 20th. That’s the one to watch. It’s a long way out, so treat it with some caution, but it’s the best shot we’ve had in a while. Stay patient.
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.
