The Lowdown

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, short-period windswell coming in from the east, and it’s just not going to deliver any real surf. The first call isn’t until Friday the 24th, and honestly, it’s a dud from the start.

The only spot in the game is Flagler Avenue (Flagler-Avenue), a beach and jetty setup. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.

Let’s run through the days. Friday morning the 24th kicks off with a tiny 2ft swell from the east, period a weak 8 seconds, and an onshore breeze. The combined energy is a pathetic 46 – that’s barely a ripple. The afternoon bumps up to 3ft, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not worth a second look.

Saturday the 25th is cleaner with a light offshore in the morning, but the swell is still only 2ft and weak (energy 43). Sunday the 26th is similar – small, clean, but no power. Monday the 27th has a glassy morning with 2ft, but again, no push. The pattern just repeats: tiny waves, short periods, and the occasional clean window that’s too small to ride.

From Tuesday the 29th through early August, we get some offshore winds, with the swell shrinking to 1ft to 1ft. The energy drops into the single digits and teens. There’s a glassy morning on Wednesday the 5th of August with 1ft, but it’s not surfable. The whole run ends with a whimper on Saturday the 8th of August, with 2ft and choppy cross-onshore conditions.

The standout here? There isn’t one. The best of a bad bunch would be the clean, glassy mornings on the 27th of July or the 28th of July, when the wind is light and the surface is smooth, but you’re still looking at knee-high mush. For any surfer looking for a proper wave, this is a stretch of flat days. The setup is more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers, given the onshore winds and small chop.

If you’re desperate for a float, the cleanest conditions line up with the offshore winds late July and early August, but don’t expect any push. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual.

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.
