The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's happening on the home front over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's looking like a pretty quiet stretch for Flagler Avenue. We've got a bunch of days with minimal swell, and most of what's rolling in isn't going to be turning too many heads. The water temp is sitting around 84°, which is pretty average for this time of year.

Right now, Sunday morning, the 9th of August, we have the best of a pretty ordinary bunch. Swell is a tiny 2ft from the east with an 8-second period, so it's weak local windswell. The combined energy is a low 59, so don't expect much push. The saving grace is the light SSE cross-offshore breeze that will keep it clean. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary—a real small-wave day for getting wet.

Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are even smaller. Tuesday morning goes completely glassy with 1ft of swell, but there's just no energy behind it (21). You'll be paddling around waiting for something that never really arrives.

We roll through the middle of the week with the same story. Wednesday the 12th, Thursday the 13th, and Friday the 14th all show tiny waves, with Friday morning dropping to a pathetic 0.7ft. The glassy conditions on Friday morning would be perfect if there was any swell, but there isn't.

Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th aren't much better, with the swell barely flickering above 1ft to 2ft. It's a flat spell.

Now, looking ahead into the second week, there’s a glimmer. On Monday the 17th of August, the morning shows a small bump to 3ft from the NE, but with a light cross-onshore wind that puts a wrinkle on it. The afternoon actually starts to build a little pulse with a 2ft ESE swell and a period of 9 seconds, pushing the combined energy to 142 (moderate energy), but the onshore wind spoils it. Not great.

The real standout, and I mean the only real standout in this whole 16-day window, looks to be Wednesday the 19th of August. The morning has a 2ft east swell, but the period hits 13 seconds. That's a proper long-period groundswell, even though it's small. The combined energy is 121. More importantly, we finally get a true WSW offshore wind, making for clean conditions. The afternoon gets even better—2ft from the east with a 12-second period and clean cross-offshore wind. The combined energy jumps to 196 (moderate energy). For this spread, that's the best you're going to get. It'll be long lines but with long waits between sets. Because of that long period, it might be a little tricky at a beach break like Flagler Avenue; it could close out quickly. Still, it's the pick of the bunch.

Thursday the 20th holds some cleaner morning waves with a 2ft east swell and 11-second period, but the wind turns onshore later. Friday the 21st offers small but clean surf again, but nothing special. After that, it fades back into the flatness.

So, the best on offer is Wednesday the 19th of August, morning and afternoon. It's nothing to write home about, but it's the only window where the wind and swell line up to give you anything close to a real wave. Get on it if you can.

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.
