The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The long-range picture is pretty grim for wave-hunting. We’ve got a solid stretch of tiny, poor-quality surf ahead. The first few days are basically a write-off. The weekend of the 30th and 31st has tiny ankle-biters at 2 ft with onshore and cross-shore winds, and it’s just messy. We roll into September the same way; small, weak, and mostly poor. The energy is low, with values in the 40s and 50s, which is about as weak as it gets. Expect a lot of ripples and chop, not much push.

The first real glimmer of something bigger comes Wednesday the 2nd, but it’s still showing as poor surf conditions. The swell bumps to 2 ft, and the period stretches to 10 and then 11 seconds, which is a step in the right direction. The energy values jump into the low to mid 200s, so there’s a pulse of moderate wave energy in the water. But the winds are onshore from the ENE, and that’s just going to chop it up. It’s bigger, but it’s not clean. This is a peak you’ll want to watch, but I wouldn't get too excited.

After that little pulse, we drop right back down again. The rest of the first week and into the second week is more of the same – tiny, weak, and poor. There are a few clean windows in there, like the 5th and the 6th, with light offshores and cleaner conditions, but the swell is barely alive at 1 ft to 2 ft and the energy is pitiful, down in the teens and twenties. It’s flat and pretty.

Then we get to the standout, and it’s a long way off. Check out Wednesday the 9th of September. Morning brings some glassy conditions, a light southerly wind, and a touch more size at 2 ft. The period stretches to 10 seconds, and the energy jumps to 71, which is still weak, but it’s the first time all week the conditions align. The wave comment finally says "surfable waves," which is a win at this point. It’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be a clean, rideable knee to waist-high wave (2 ft) on a glassy morning. That’s the best on offer in this whole stretch.

After that, it’s back to the doldrums until we hit the real event: Sunday the 13th of September. This is the one that has my attention. We see a jump in swell height to 4 ft, though the direction shifts to the ENE. The period is a short 6 seconds, and the energy is a moderate 134, but the winds are cross-onshore and picking up through the day. The combination of the short period and onshore wind will likely make it a bit lumpy and closed out. It’s the biggest swell of the forecast, but it’s not looking like a classic.

The final day, Monday the 14th, shows a drop back down to 2 ft, but the wind is glassy and light offshore. The period is short at 5 seconds, so it’ll be weak and maybe a bit crumbly, but with that glass, it’ll be clean. It might be the best-looking conditions for a paddle out, but the swell isn't there.

So, here’s the deal: the standout is the glassy morning of Wednesday, September 9th. It’s the only truly clean, surfable window in the whole two weeks. The bigger swell on the 13th is a tease, but the short period and cross-onshore wind will likely make it a blown-out mess. The gap between now and the 9th is a long, flat grind. Hang loose.

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.
