The Lowdown

Alright, I'm gonna level with you. The outlook for Flagler Avenue over the next 16 days is a long, flat stretch of nothing special. We’re looking at a solid gap with no real surf to get excited about, so don't rush to grab your board just yet.

Right now, for the morning of Sunday the 9th of August, we’ve got some tiny 2ft surf coming out of the east with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 59 (weak). The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is pretty much average for this time of year. It’s a clean morning with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, making it look surfable but honestly, very ordinary. The afternoon gets worse with a stronger cross-shore wind and the surf drops off.

Monday and Tuesday are just as poor – we’re talking knee-high dribble at best. Tuesday morning the 11th goes totally glassy, but with only 1ft on offer, you’re just floating around. That pattern keeps up all week: tiny swells, short periods, and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds.

There’s a brief moment of hope around the morning of Monday the 18th of August. A clean, glassy morning with 2ft from the east at 9 seconds, and the combined energy climbs a bit to 55. But again, it’s just surfable, not good. Wednesday the 19th morning is similar. The afternoon of the 19th sees the period jump to 13 seconds with a combined energy of 171 (moderate wave energy), but it’s only 2ft and the wind goes cross-shore, so the shape will be messy.

Thursday the 20th morning has a bit more size at 2ft from the east at 11 seconds, with 119 (moderate) energy and glassy conditions before a risk of t-storms. It’s still just ordinary, not a standout.

The rest of the run into the second week is flat and uninspiring. The best you can say is there are a few mornings with clean, glassy conditions, but there’s simply not enough swell to push a decent wave.

Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, there isn't one true standout session. The swell is too small, the period is mostly short, and the wind is rarely perfect. If the wind was off and there was even a foot more swell, Flagler Avenue (United States) could be fun, but as it stands, it’s a long wait. I wouldn’t be surprised if this kind of flat run is more normal for the area this time of year. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, leave the board in the car.

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.
