The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here.
Well, I’ve gotta be straight with you. This 16-day window for Flagler Avenue is as flat as it gets, and it’s a long, frustrating stretch. There’s nothing on offer that I’d call a good surf option. The forecast shows a whole lot of nothing for the first week, and while there’s a little bump in energy later on, the conditions just aren’t coming together for a proper session.
For the first several days, from now right through the end of the first week, the waves are basically non-existent. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best, with swell heights barely reaching 1ft to 2ft and combined energy figures stuck in the weak teens and 30s. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But with that tiny swell and winds that are mostly cross or onshore, it’s a write-off.
We finally see a little pulse of energy around Wednesday the 9th. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the NE, and the combined energy hits a moderate 198 (Wednesday morning). But it’s a no-go. The wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy, and the period is a short 8 seconds. It’s just not going to be any fun. That little spike fades fast, and we’re back to tiny surf through the rest of the week.
Looking further out, there’s another flicker of life on Monday the 21st. The swell bumps up again to 4ft from the NE, with combined energy hitting 211. The period is still a short 9 seconds though, and the wind is again cross-onshore. It’s promising that the energy is higher, but for Flagler, a NE swell isn’t its best direction, and the onshore wind is going to chop it up. It’s a long-range call so it’s not certain, but as it stands right now, it’s still a “poor surf conditions” call.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day run, there isn't a single standout. It's one of those blank runs that can happen in this area. Don't hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

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.
