The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get stuck into it.
Straight up, this is a tough run ahead for Flagler Avenue. I’m looking at the whole sixteen-day window and it’s basically flat or close to it for the entire stretch. There are no standout swells, no proper waves to sink your fins into. It’s going to be a lean period.
Starting from Tuesday the 28th of July, there’s barely a ripple. We’ve got a tiny easterly swell – only 1 ft to 1.0 ft at best for the first few days, with short periods around 8 to 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting between 14 and 28 (weak energy). Winds are mostly cross or offshore, keeping it clean, but there’s just no push in the water. It’s not surfable for any ability. That continues right through the end of July and into the first week of August.
Moving into early August, the swell tries to pick up a little. On Sunday the 2nd of August, we see a 3 ft swell from the ESE, but the period is a shocking 4 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, no shape. Energy is still weak at 36 (weak energy). Offshore winds will make it look clean, but the waves will be lumpy and weak. Monday the 3rd of August afternoon has a 3 ft ESE swell with a period of 8 seconds, energy climbing to 85 (still weak), but still poor.
The second week, from the 5th of August onward, we get a couple of glassy mornings which sound promising, but the swell height is stuck between 1 ft and 2 ft, periods are short (7 to 9 seconds). On Wednesday the 5th of August afternoon, the energy briefly bumps to 122 (moderate energy) with a 2 ft ESE swell and a 9-second period, but the wind turns cross-shore and it’s still described as poor surf. That’s as good as it gets, which is not good at all.
From the 8th to the 12th of August, it’s back to tiny 0.7 ft to 1 ft swells, periods dropping to 7 or 8 seconds, and energy barely hitting 40. There’s a glassy morning on the 9th of August and again on the 10th of August, but with a 1 ft and 1.0 ft swell respectively, you’d be bobbing around waiting for nothing.
So, there is no best day. There is no standout. This is a full two-week blank. For Flagler Avenue, a beach and jetty setup, this stretch is more about floating and sunbaking than surfing. Keep the board in the car, but don't get your hopes up.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Flagler Avenue can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
