Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Flagler Avenue are looking pretty flat and uninspiring. The swell energy is barely registering, mostly below 50 (weak energy) and never cracking beyond a 107 on that scale for the whole run. That's not the kind of number you want to see for a proper surf session.

We've got a long stretch of days with virtually nothing rideable. From Saturday 4th July right through to the morning of Thursday 9th July, it's all "poor surf conditions" – tiny waves, mostly 1 ft to 1 ft, with short period slop. Thursday 9th morning shows a glimmer of hope with a 2 ft swell and clean offshore winds from the SW, but even then, the wave comment calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – a 1/10 score. That's the best we get for the first week.

Then we hit another flat spell. Friday 10th morning is glassy but only 2 ft. The real standout – if you can call it that – is Saturday 11th morning. We've got a 2 ft ESE groundswell with a period of 8 seconds, combined energy of 53 (weak), and light WSW cross-offshore wind. It's clean, and it's the only time in the whole 16-day window where the conditions are described as "surfable" more than once. But still, it's tiny. You'll be on a foamie or a longboard, fighting for scraps at Flagler Avenue itself, a beach/jetty break that's very consistent but also often crowded. The water temperature is a warm 84°F – about average for this time of year (anomaly +0.7°F).

After that, we're back to poor conditions through the rest of July. Monday 13th afternoon has a 3 ft ESE swell with light WSW cross-offshore wind and a combined energy of 81 (weak) – again "surfable but very ordinary". That's about it. The rest of the second week is all tiny 1 ft to 2 ft slop with onshore or cross-shore winds, and even the energy numbers drop back into the 20s and 30s. Honestly, if the wind kicks up, the setup here might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – but with such small swell, even that's a stretch.

So, bottom line: there's no true standout session in this 16-day window. The best you'll get are a couple of marginal mornings with knee-high, clean waves. For this area, that's just the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the car and the expectations low.

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.

Flagler Avenue is 4 km (2 miles) from New Smyrna Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in New Smyrna Beach. New Smyrna Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
