The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, honest look at Flagler Avenue. We’ve got a full 16-day window stretching from Saturday the 25th of July through to Sunday the 9th of August, and I’m gonna be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. There’s a solid gap of no real surf on offer for the entire forecast period. Every single slot in the data comes back with “poor surf conditions” and a score that’s a flat zero. That’s a long, quiet run.
The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak, barely cracking double digits for most of it, with the highest reading hitting just 92 (weak energy) on the afternoon of Friday the 7th of August. The swell heights are tiny, lingering between 0.7 ft and 3 ft, all from the east or east-southeast, with a short period of 7 to 10 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell. No real punch, no real push.
Because there are no standout options, I can’t point you to a best session. The wind does offer some clean windows – there are mornings with glassy conditions and gentle offshore breezes from the west or southwest, like on Tuesday the 28th of July morning or Wednesday the 29th of July morning. But even with clean, glassy water, the waves just aren’t there. The water temperature isn’t given a specific number, so I can’t tell you if it’s warmer or colder than usual, but with no surf, it doesn’t change the story.
Flagler Avenue is a beach and jetty setup, very consistent in its inconsistency for quality surf. It’s exposed to the swell, and the optimum swell direction is from the north-northeast, but we’re getting nothing but east and east-southeast. For the whole 16 days, the swell is too small for anyone, beginner or expert. Honestly, with the tiny waves and the occasional cross-shore chop, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, but even then, the wind isn’t strong enough to be reliable.
To sum it up: there’s no surf to speak of from now right through to the 9th of August. Blank runs like this happen in this area, and it’s a normal part of the pattern. Forecasts can change, but for now, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.

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.
