The Lowdown
Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you: Flagler Avenue is looking dead for a solid stretch. The entire 16-day run is a flat spell of lousy conditions. Wave energy is barely a whisper, with combined swell energy numbers mostly in the teens and twenties, and even the few days that climb over 100 still get a big fat zero for surf quality. Nothing is going to get me out of bed.
Water temperature is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing wild.
You're waiting until the very end of August for even a whisper of a wave. On Monday, August 31st, the morning shows a tiny 0.6m swell from the east, but it's a short 7-second period with a cross-on breeze. The afternoon brings a weird one: a 0.3m swell from the east with a super long 18-second period and 104 energy. But it's still too small and messy to ride.
September starts with more of the same. September 1st has a 0.5m easterly swell, 15-second period, and 138 energy, but the wind is onshore in the morning and bumpy cross-on in the afternoon. It's just another day of poor surf. September 2nd is more of the same: 0.5-0.6m, long period, but cross-on wind again. Energy hits 123 in the afternoon, but the quality is zero. There is no good wave to be had.
For the whole 16 days, the wind is never right, the swell is too small, and conditions are just bad. With this weak, wind-blown surf, a beach/jetty spot like this is more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer. We're in a real lull, and it's going to take a big change in the forecast to turn things around.
Rusty.

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.

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.
