The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up, ‘cause it’s gonna be a long one. Honestly, I’m not stoked about what I’m seeing for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a proper flat spell on the horizon, so if you’re jonesing for a wave, you’re gonna need some patience.
The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. There’s no surf on offer right at the start, and we’re looking at a big gap of several days with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The first real sniff of anything happens later, but it’s weak.
Our only spot in the game is Flagler Avenue. It’s a beach and jetty setup, and it’s been a tough go. The water temp is sitting right around 84°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick off on Tuesday, July 21st with tiny, weak swell. The morning has a cross-offshore breeze, but with a 2ft swell from the ESE and a short period of 7 seconds, the combined energy is a measly (36). It’s just not doing anything. The afternoon is a write-off with a lumpy cross-chop. Honestly, the whole first week is a washout. We get a few moments of glassy conditions on the morning of Saturday, July 25th, but the swell is still a pathetic 2ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
The pattern doesn’t really shift. We finally get a bit of offshore wind on Tuesday, July 28th in the morning and again on Wednesday, July 29th. The swell is so small, though, at just 1ft with a period of 8-9 seconds, that it’s barely a ripple. The energy is in the teens to low twenties (20-26). It’s clean, glassy even, but it’s flat. This is a spot for beginners when it’s small, but this is just too small for anyone.
The standout? There isn’t one. Not a single day offers any real quality. The best you can hope for is a clean, glassy surface on a day where the swell is so small it’s unrideable. The conditions are nice, but the ocean is flat. If you’ve got a kiteboard and a stiff breeze, you might have more fun, because for a paddle surfer, this is a long, dry spell.
Honestly, the forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run. For this area, it’s not totally unusual to have a stretch like this. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
