The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got cookin' for Flagler Avenue over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough beat for the next while. The surf is pretty flat and uninspiring. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak waves with minimal energy. For the first ten days, from September 12th through the 21st, there's really nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, often under 2ft, with poor surf conditions and a lot of onshore or cross-shore wind. You'll be floating on your board more than you'll be surfing. The combined swell energy is weak, so don't expect any real push.
Now, after that quiet spell, we finally see a flicker of life around the morning of September 23rd. It's not going to set the world on fire, but it's the best we've got in the whole forecast. The swell picks up a touch, and we get a clean, cross-offshore wind from the SSW at about 9 mph. The swell is a small 2ft from the NE with a 9-second period, and the combined energy climbs. The water temp is about 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least the water feels good. It's super small, so it'd be a fun session for a longboard or a foamie, but don't expect any barrels.
The rest of the run after that is more of the same: tiny waves and iffy conditions. The morning of the 24th looks glassy, but with only about 2ft of weak ENE swell, it's still a marginal call. So, if you're desperate for a paddle, the 23rd morning is your best bet, but keep your expectations in check.
Rusty.

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.
