The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Flagler Avenue. We've got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions ahead, so don't be getting your hopes up for any sort of proper session.
The first couple of weeks are a write-off. From Tuesday the 8th right through to the morning of Saturday the 19th, we're looking at a solid run of nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and when there is a little bump, the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, chopping it all to bits. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 60 (Moderate wave energy) on a few occasions, and often sitting in the low 20s and 30s. It's frustrating, but it is what it is.
Now, there is a slight glimmer of hope at the very end of the run. On Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, we finally see a pulse of 2 ft swell from the NE. The wind looks like it might play ball, with some light offshore or cross-offshore breezes forecast. The combined energy is still only hitting 64 (Moderate wave energy), and the wave comment just says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so it's not going to be anything epic. But if you're desperate, you might find a clean, knee-high wave at Flagler Avenue.
For the rest of the forecast, it's either too small, too windy, or both. This is a tough run for a beach break like Flagler. The best advice I can give is to keep an eye on the long-range forecasts, because this kind of flat spell can't last forever.
Rusty, signing off.

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.

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.
