The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this outlook is a tough one for Flagler Avenue. We’re looking at a 16-day window that kicks off now, but there’s no real surf to get excited about for the first few days. The first mention of anything surfable doesn’t come until Saturday morning, August 8th, so we’re looking at a dry spell for the next 5 days.

From Monday afternoon, August 3rd, through Friday, August 7th, it’s all poor surf conditions. Tiny swell, mostly 2 ft to 3 ft, coming from the ESE or E with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is all over the place—cross-on, cross-off, and onshore—so it’s choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, in the 30s to 70s (34 to 79). Not a single wave worth paddling out for.

Saturday, August 8th is the first real glimmer. Morning shows some promise with a 3 ft swell from the east, period up to 8 seconds, and a light cross-offshore wind from the SE. The combined energy hits 130 (moderate), and it’s described as clean. This is the best on offer in the whole window. But it’s not a standout—it’s just the best of a bad lot. The afternoon goes downhill with the wind picking up to 12 mph from the SE, making it cross-shore and choppy.

After that, it’s back to tiny, weak surf through the rest of the second week. Swell drops to 0.7 ft to 3 ft, periods mostly 6 to 8 seconds, and the combined energy stays low (5 to 79). There are a few glassy moments—like Wednesday morning, August 12th, with 1 ft and no wind, and Thursday morning, August 13th, with 0.7 ft and glassy conditions—but the swell is just too small to ride. It’s flat, flat, flat.

The only other spot that gets a “surfable but very ordinary” rating is Tuesday morning, August 18th, with a 2 ft swell from the ENE, period of 6 seconds, and a light offshore from the SW. The combined energy is 60 (weak). Clean, but tiny.

Water temp on the first surfable day (August 8th) is 83°F, with an anomaly of -0.9°F, so it’s about average for this time of year—nothing unusual.

Bottom line: Flagler Avenue is a very consistent beach/jetty break, but we’ve got a 16-day stretch with almost nothing. The only half-decent window is Saturday morning, August 8th, with 3 ft, clean conditions, and moderate energy. If you’re desperate, that’s your shot. But honestly, for beginners, that 3 ft is fine; for anyone else, it’s a waiting game. The setup is so weak and windy the rest of the time that it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

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.
