The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk Flagler Avenue.
This forecast is a bummer, plain and simple. Over the full 16 days, there’s nothing that gets the pulse going. We’re looking at tiny, weak surf the whole way. The combined energy numbers are all in the low double or triple digits, none of them even cracking 100 (17 to 65). Water temp is about 83°F, which is normal for the season, so you won’t need a winter suit, but you won’t need a board either.
The first faint glimmer of something happens on Monday, August 3rd. You get a 2ft swell out of the ESE with a short 8-second period and combined energy of just 52. The wind is cross-off from the south at 9 mph, keeping it clean. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the highlight. Later that afternoon, the swell nudges up to 3ft but the wind goes light, and conditions are still considered poor.
After that, it’s back to near nothing. Tuesday, August 4th, you’ve got 2ft to 3ft, but winds are either light cross-off or turning into a moderate cross-shore chop from the southeast. Energy stays in the 40s and 60s. Nothing cleans up enough to ride.
From Saturday, August 8th, through to Wednesday, August 13th, we see a few mornings with glassy or light offshore winds from the SSW or SW. Looks nice, but the swell is only 1ft to 1ft with periods of just 7 or 8 seconds. The combined energy drops to between 10 and 26. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple.
Friday, August 14th afternoon shows a small bump to 2ft from the east with an 8-second period and a moderate cross-shore wind from the SE at 12 mph, but the energy is only 49. It’s messy and weak.
There are zero good options. Flagler Avenue is a beach/jetty break exposed to the NNE, but the swell is coming from the ESE or E, which is a bad angle for producing any decent wave. The spot is usually very consistent, so this long flat spell feels unusual. Forecasts can flip, so keep an eye out, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
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.
