The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Flagler Avenue.
Honestly, mate, it's a grim stretch ahead. The entire 16-day window is a write-off. There's no surf worth paddling out for. The first row kicks off on Monday the 27th of July, and right through to Tuesday the 11th of August, every single forecast is marked as poor surf conditions. That's a solid two weeks plus of flat or near-flat dribble.
The swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0ft to 2ft from the east, with a weak, short-period windswell that barely has any energy behind it. The combined energy numbers are all in the low double digits or below, only occasionally hitting the 30s or 80s, but even then the swell height is still pitiful. The water is a balmy 84°F, which is about average for the time of year, but that's little consolation when you're just floating around.
You'll get some clean, offshore-looking mornings, like Wednesday the 29th of July with a gentle offshore breeze, and a few glassy patches around the 4th and 5th of August. But it's all on tiny, knee-high slop. The best of a bad lot might be the afternoon of the 4th of August, where the swell bumps up to 3ft from the ESE, but it's cross-onshore, messy, and the period is a short 8 seconds. It's really just a poor-quality dribble.
Given the persistent tiny swell and the strong cross-shore winds that pop up, this setup is far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's just nothing for a surfer to work with. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's pretty normal.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the forecasts, and don't bother waxing up for a while.
Rusty.
