The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you about the surf window we're looking at over the next 16 days for Flagler Avenue. I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough outlook. The entire 16-day stretch is pretty flat with almost no surf to get excited about. For a spot that's usually very consistent, this is a long, dry spell we're staring down.
First off, the water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need the thick rubber.
The whole first week is bust. From the morning of the 28th of July right through to the afternoon of the 3rd of August, we're looking at tiny, weak swell and the finder keeps calling it "poor surf conditions." Swell heights are nothing but 0.7ft to 1ft with combined energy in the low double digits (23) at best. It's just not enough to push a wave. There's a moment early on the 28th with glassy conditions, but with a 1ft, 8-second east swell, you'd be floating more than surfing.
Tuesday the 4th of August morning offers the only glimmer. We get a 2ft east swell, period at 8 seconds, with glassy wind from the SW. The combined energy bumps up a bit to 75, and the commentary upgrades it to "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." This would be the best of the whole run, but "ordinary" is the key word. Expect tiny, weak lines.
Into the second week, it gets even smaller. From the 5th of August onward, we're back to 1.0ft and 1ft swells with combined energy dropping back into the teens and twenties. There is no standout day. Nothing big enough to ride, especially for a beach/jetty spot that needs a bit of push. The swell direction is mostly from the east and ESE, but it just doesn't have any size or period behind it.
Honestly, there's no standouts here. The 4th of August morning is your best bet, but I wouldn't paddle out for it. For a spot that's this consistent, this is a quiet spell, but it happens. Forecasts can always change, but right now, you might as well keep the board in the car and focus on something else.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
