The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Flagler Avenue.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch is a flat spell for Flagler Avenue. There is no real surf to get excited about. The little bumps that show up are barely ankle-knockers, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" right the way through. We’re lookin’ at a long stretch of quiet water, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board.
Tuesday morning the 11th kicks it off with a tiny 1 ft ESE swell, period a weak 7 seconds. Combined energy is a measly 21—that’s barely a ripple. At least the wind is glassy from the SSW at 3 mph, so the water’s flat as a pancake. Not surfable, but pretty to look at. That glassy, clean vibe hangs on through Wednesday morning the 12th, but the swell is still a pathetic 1.0 ft.
Thursday morning the 13th is the same sad story: 1.0 ft from the ESE, clean with a light W wind. You could paddle a foamie around but you won’t be catching anything. By Saturday the 15th, the swell nudges up to a whole 2 ft in the afternoon with 7-second period, but the wind is a cross-shore SE breeze at 12 mph and the combined energy is only 40. Still not worth wetting a wetsuit.
We get a tiny pulse around Wednesday the 19th—combined energy hits 129 in the morning, but the swell is still only 2 ft at 12 seconds from the E. That’s a long period, so there’s some push, but it’s messy with cross-onshore wind. It’s not gonna produce a rideable wave. The rest of the week and into the next just dribbles along with nothing over 2 ft.
There’s no standout, no best session. If you’re desperate, the cleanest windows are the glassy mornings—like Tuesday 11th, Thursday 14th, Saturday 22nd, Tuesday 25th, and Wednesday 26th in the morning—but there’s no swell to go with ’em.
Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report.
Honestly, this looks more like a week for a paddleboard or a long swim than a surf. Hang in there, the forecasts can always change.
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.
