Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flagler Avenue over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break down Flagler Avenue. It’s a rough outlook, folks. For all 16 days, the surf just isn’t going to get going. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
Starting now, you’ve got a big gap. On Wednesday morning, July 8th, the water temp is 85°, average for the time of year. Swell is a tiny 1 ft from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds, and a light offshore wind from the SSW. The combined energy is just 31 – weak. It looks clean but there’s no power.
The closest thing to a ride comes Thursday morning, the 9th. Swell bumps to 2 ft, still ESE at 9 seconds, with a light cross-offshore wind from the W. Energy reaches 53. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s your best shot, and that’s not saying much.
The rest of the week is a blur of small, weak waves. Swells hover between 1.0 ft and 3 ft, periods mostly at 8 seconds. Winds are rarely clean, often cross or cross-on. Energy numbers stay in the low double digits. Wednesday morning the 17th gives a glassy 1 ft swell, period 8 seconds, with only 24 energy – looks pretty, still flat.
Through the next week, same story. Sunday morning the 19th is glassy with a 1 ft swell and 25 energy. Wednesday afternoon the 22nd goes completely glassy with zero wind and 22 energy, but still tiny.
The only time the energy cracks 100 is Thursday afternoon the 23rd, with a 2 ft swell from the ESE at 8 seconds and 104 energy. But the wind is cross-shore at 16 mph, making for a choppy mess.
Bottom line: there’s nothing worth chasing here. The cleanest moments with a shred of energy are Thursday the 9th morning or the glassy spells on the 17th and 19th, but it’s a flat spell overall. Hang tight – the ocean always turns around eventually.

A general guide to surfing at Flagler Avenue can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
