The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. I've looked over the local charts, and I've got to be honest – it's a tough stretch for Flagler Avenue. For the full 16 days, there's no real surf on offer. Every single session in the forecast is showing poor conditions. We're in for a long, flat spell. There are a few bumps of energy, but the wind never plays nice. It's one of those times the ocean is just giving us a break.
Let's walk through it. From Wednesday the 2nd all the way through to Tuesday the 8th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is a mess – onshore, cross-shore, gusty. The combined energy is weak, peaking at 166 (moderate) on Thursday afternoon, but that's with a cross-offshore wind that's too strong for the size. It's a no-go.
We get a tiny window late in the period. On Wednesday morning, the 16th of September, we have a glassy session with no wind, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it's just a lake. The combined energy is a measly 39 (weak). Then on Thursday the 17th, we get a clean, cross-offshore wind with a 2 ft swell, but again, it's just not enough to push a wave.
The only possible standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Wednesday the 16th. The wind is zero, glassy as a mirror. But the swell is just 2 ft from the east. It's a long shot for a longboard or a SUP, but for a proper surf, it's a no-go. The water temperature is 82°F, which is about average for this time of year.
Look, don't bother paddling out for this. The setup with the onshore winds and small, weak swell is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's a blank run, which is more normal for the area when the swell windows are this quiet. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about.
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.
