The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you right now. I’ve scanned the next 16 days for Flagler Avenue, and I’m looking at a stretch that’s, well, honestly pretty flat. We’re in a serious dry spell.
The first solid recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Friday, July 24th, and even then it’s not a barnburner. That’s a solid four-day gap from the start of the period with nothing worth paddling out for. The waves are just not showing up.
Flagler Avenue (Flagler Beach) is a beach and jetty setup, exposed to the NNE, but the swell we’re getting is tiny. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Alright, let’s run through the best of it, which isn’t saying much.
Friday, July 24th (Morning) – This is the first bit of hope. We’ve got a tiny 2-foot swell from the ESE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (53). The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. You’ll be on a longboard or a foamie, just getting wet.
Saturday, July 25th (Morning) – Similar story. A 2-foot swell from the east, 8-second period, and weak energy (63). The wind swings south at 6 mph, staying cross-off and keeping things clean. Again, it’s surfable but nothing to get excited about. It’s the best of the bunch, but only because the rest is junk.
For the rest of the run, we’re looking at morning windows with offshore or cross-off winds, but the swell is consistently below 2 feet and the energy is in the teens and twenties. From the 27th, we start seeing storm risk, but the waves are still tiny. The afternoons are mostly trashed by cross-shore winds in the 9-16 mph range, making the 2-3 foot surf a choppy mess.
If you’re a beginner, those tiny clean mornings on the 24th and 25th are your only shot. For anyone else, this is a long, flat wait. The setup is better for a paddleboard than a surfboard right now. The forecasts can change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
