Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flagler Avenue over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Flagler Avenue is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a real flat spell, so let’s get into it.
The honest truth is, for the first week and a half, there’s barely a ripple. Monday the 13th through to Friday the 25th, we’re stuck in a pattern of tiny, weak swell. The wave energy is pathetic, often sitting in the double digits, and the swell heights are barely a whisper. Most days we’re seeing 1 to 2 feet of short-period, sloppy ESE windswell. The wind is usually a cross-off or cross-shore, which is fine for clean water, but there’s just no power behind it. You’d be floating out there. It’s a real bummer.
The only glimmer of hope, and I mean a glimmer, shows up on Saturday the 26th. The morning looks like a proper standout. We’ve got a glassy, clean surface with a light SSE breeze, and the swell bumps up to 3 feet from the ENE. The combined energy finally jumps to a three-digit number, which is at least moderate. It’s still not a big swell, but for this stretch, it’s the best we’ve got. The period is only 6 seconds though, so it’s a short, choppy windswell, not a proper groundswell. It’ll be surfable, but very ordinary. Expect a crowd here because Flagler is consistent and exposed, and with the summer crowds, it’ll be busy.
The morning of Sunday the 27th also offers a similar 3 feet with clean conditions, but the energy drops, so it’s not as punchy. After that, we’re back to the small stuff.
Water temp is sitting right around 84°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit.
Look, for the first 12 days, it’s a real desert. If you’re absolutely desperate, the 26th morning is your only real shot, but don’t get your hopes up for anything epic. It’s one of those quiet summer runs. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, this is a kite-surfing kind of stretch unless you’re happy just bobbing around.
Rusty.

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.
