The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for Flagler Avenue. We've got a long, quiet run ahead.
We're looking at a solid week and a half with nothing really worth paddling out for. From right now, through to the end of next week, the wave energy is just sad. It's a mix of tiny, short-period windswell with combined energy readings barely cracking double digits – we're talking 11 to 59 – and the surf quality is rated as "poor" across the board. You get a few moments of glassy conditions, like early Tuesday morning the 11th, but the swell is only 1 ft from the ESE with a 7-second period. That's barely a ripple.
Honestly, the best of a bad bunch – and I mean the *only* thing that even gets a mention – shapes up around Monday the 17th. Not exactly a classic, but it's the closest we get to a surf window. Monday morning on the 17th we see a tiny bump in combined energy to 58, with 2 ft of 8-second E swell. The wind is light and cross-off from the NW, so it should be clean. It's not going to get your heart racing, but for the first time in a while, you might find a few little waist-high runners.
Beyond that, the pattern holds small. There’s a bit of a texture on Thursday the 20th morning with a glassy 2 ft at 10 seconds from the E, giving us a combined energy of 105, but it's just ordinary. We get a few more mornings like that – glassy or clean with 2 ft to 2 ft, but the energy never builds enough to turn it into anything memorable. The crowds at Flagler Avenue can be a factor when it's on, but right now, you'll have the place to yourself.
Bottom line: Don't hold your breath. Stash the board for now. When a wave pops up in the second week, it's likely to be small and ordinary. If you absolutely need saltwater, Monday the 17th morning is your best bet, but keep expectations real 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.
