The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one.
We’re looking at a solid two-week stretch where the ocean is just not giving us much. The wave energy is basically non-existent, with combined energy readings sitting in the weak range for the whole period. You’re going to see a lot of days with tiny, weak swell. The best you can hope for is a 1ft to 2ft wave, but it’s coming from the northeast and east, which isn’t the optimum direction for this spot.
For Flagler Avenue, it’s a real struggle. The first real chance of anything even close to surfable shows up on Saturday the 25th of July. The morning will see a tiny 2ft SE swell, with a short period just 5 seconds, so no power behind it. The wind will be a light cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but the combined energy is only 50. It’s rated as “surfable waves but very ordinary.” That’s the best we’ve got. The rest of the period up to then is a write-off – tiny waves, poor conditions, and mostly cross or onshore winds. Even the glassy mornings on the 17th, 27th, 28th, and 29th with 1.0ft to 2ft of swell are just too small to do anything on.
The long-range stuff doesn’t get any better. From the 25th onward, it’s the same story: tiny swell, often with a short period, and the wind switching between light cross-off in the mornings to a stronger cross-shore in the afternoons. The 29th of July morning is glassy with a 2ft easterly swell, period 9 seconds, but it’s still just a dribbler.
Honestly, if you’re determined to get wet, the Saturday the 25th morning is the only window worth looking at, and even then, keep your expectations on the floor. For beginners, this is fine – it’s too small to be dangerous – but for anyone else, it’s a frustrating couple of weeks. The lack of consistency is the real killer here.
Rusty.
