The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Flagler Avenue. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat, and honestly, there’s not a whole lot to get excited about. You’re gonna have to be patient.
Right now, from the 24th of July through the end of the month and into the first days of August, the surf is tiny. We’re talking waves from 0.7ft to maybe 2ft at best, and that’s when they’re not completely blown out. The winds are mostly onshore, cross-shore, or just messy, so conditions are poor. Most of these days are scoring a flat zero for surf quality. The combined swell energy is weak, barely hitting 187 (moderate) on one afternoon, but mostly hanging around in the low double digits.
Now, there is a tiny glimmer on Monday the 3rd of August. Early morning we get a flat calm, glassy surface, with a 2ft swell rolling in from the ESE. It’s small, but it’s the only session in the whole outlook that they reckon is even surfable, scoring a 1 out of 10. The energy is still low, at 52. It’s a beach and jetty setup, so don’t expect a long ride. For a beginner, it’s a chance to get wet on a tiny wave, but there’s no power behind it.
After that morning, it’s back to the grind of tiny, onshore slop all the way through to the 8th of August. There’s a long stretch of several days with nothing worthwhile.
Honestly, with the swell this small and the wind often messy, this stretch of coast might look better for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially on those afternoons with moderate onshore breezes.
Bottom line: if you’re desperate for a little splash, set your alarm for the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. Otherwise, save your energy.

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.

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.
