The Lowdown
Alright, gather 'round. Rusty here, and I've had a proper look at the charts for Flagler Avenue. I gotta be straight with you—it's a tough stretch ahead. We're looking at a long, long run of barely-there surf. There’s a gap of about a week, from now until Thursday the 3rd of September, where you’d be better off taking the dog for a walk than dragging a board down the beach. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the onshore wind is going to chop it up something fierce. It's a real shame because the water temp is a balmy 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, but there's just no energy.
The first real glimmer of hope—and I'm using the word "glimmer" loosely—comes on Thursday the 3rd of September, on the morning session. We're looking at a measly 2ft of easterly swell with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is weak, barely registering 60 (combined swell energy). The big positive? The wind is glassy from the NE. That means the surface will be clean, like a mirror. The comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I have to agree. It's a knee-to-waist high dribble, but if you're desperate, that's your window. Don't expect much from the afternoon as the breeze picks up.
After that, it's a rinse and repeat of flat, choppy mornings and afternoons. There's another little tease on Sunday the 6th of September morning, with 2ft and a longer-period NE groundswell at 10 seconds, again under glassy SE winds. The energy is still weak at 66. The longer period might mean a bit more push, but at this size, it's still just ankle-knocking stuff at a beach break. It's gonna be hard to get any kind of shape.
Finally, on Monday the 7th of September morning, we get a bit of a break. The swell is still only 2ft from the NE, but the wind swings to a cross-offshore from the WNW at 6 mph. That will clean up the faces. Again, the comment says "surfable but ordinary." That's about as good as it gets in this whole 16-day run. It's a long-haul flat spell, lads. Keep the wax in the cupboard.
Rusty.
