The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at a pretty flat spell ahead for Flagler Avenue. To be honest, the first week and a half is a write-off for any real surfing. From Wednesday, September 9th, right through to the morning of Sunday, September 20th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the energy readings are pitifully low (often in the 20-40 range). The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. There’s nothing to get excited about here. The water temperature is a warm 83°F on the 9th, which is about average for the time of year.
Now, the glimmer of hope comes later. On Monday, September 21st, we finally see a pulse of energy. The morning brings a 6ft NE swell with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a solid 712 – that’s a moderate kick. The wind is light and cross-shore, which is workable. This is a longer-period groundswell, so it’s got more punch and shape, but at a beach break like Flagler Avenue, that long period can make it break a bit straight. It’s still the best wave on offer, but it’s only a 2 out of 10 on the quality scale, so expectations need to be managed. The swell hangs around into Tuesday, September 22nd, with a similar 6ft NE swell and moderate energy (532), but the wind shifts to a stronger cross-onshore, chopping it up.
The pick of the entire period is the morning of Monday, September 21st. The swell is pushing 6ft from the NE, which is solid, and the light cross-shore wind will keep it reasonably clean. It’s a bit big for beginners, but it’s the only real window of size and half-decent conditions. The rest of the second week fades out with onshore winds and dropping swell, never really cleaning up.
So, if you’re hanging for a wave, the 21st and 22nd of September are your only real shots, but don’t expect perfection. It’s been a long wait, and it’s a brief window.
Rusty.

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.
