The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it's a tough stretch for Flagler Avenue. The whole 16-day run is looking pretty flat and uninspiring, with no real standouts to get excited about. We're looking at a long, quiet period.
The first week, from Thursday the 23rd of July right through to the end of the month, is basically a write-off. The swell is tiny, with a combined energy that's barely a whisper (12 to 79). We're seeing a lot of weak, short-period windswell from the east, with heights barely reaching 3ft on the best days. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, creating a lot of chop and messy conditions. You'll find a few clean moments – like Sunday morning the 26th with a light cross-offshore breeze, or Monday afternoon the 27th going glassy, and Tuesday the 28th with a clean offshore flow – but the swell is just too small to do anything with. It's a long stretch of "poor surf conditions" with nothing to recommend.
Heading into the second week, the first week of August, we finally see a slight uptick. The water temp is a normal 84°F for this time of year, so that's fine. The swell stays small, but the wind starts to cooperate more. Sunday, the 2nd of August, is the first day that even gets a mention, with a clean 2ft from the ESE under a light offshore breeze from the SW. The combined energy is still low (48-56) and the period is short, but it's clean. That's about the best we can say. Monday the 3rd is another clean morning, but the swell is still small. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th have some glassy mornings, but the swell is tiny and weak.
Look, the only real window to even think about paddling out is around the 2nd of August. The waves will be small, weak, and short-period, but the wind could be clean. It's a "surfable but very ordinary" kind of day. For anyone else, this setup is more interesting for a kite than a paddle, given the lack of power and the onshore slop on most afternoons.
Bottom line: don't hold your breath. This is a blank run that is more normal for the area in this kind of pattern. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, there's nothing to drive for.
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.
