The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Flagler Avenue over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough one. The forecast is looking pretty bleak for a solid stretch. The first surfable day that even gets a nod isn't until Monday the 7th of September, and even then, it’s only just barely surfable. That’s a long gap of near-flat, choppy, or just plain messy conditions from now until then. We’re talking over a week of poor surf, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
Monday the 7th of September morning finally shows a glimmer of life. Flagler Avenue is seeing a small swell of 2ft from the NE, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the WNW, and the combined energy is up to 67 (moderate). It’s clean, but the waves are very ordinary. This is for the patient surfer, not a standout.
The next morning, Tuesday the 8th of September, offers a similar story. We’ve got 2ft from the NE again, period 9 seconds, with glassy conditions thanks to a light NW wind. The energy is a bit stronger at 84 (moderate), but still, it’s just surfable, not great. The morning of Wednesday the 9th of September is also glassy, with a 2ft swell from the ENE, period 11 seconds, and energy of 96 (moderate). These are the best windows in the whole forecast, but they’re small, and the quality is barely on the radar.
For the rest of the period, the afternoons get choppy or cross-on, and the mornings stay small. There’s nothing here that’s a true standout. The water temp is about 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re sitting there waiting for a set that never comes.
If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoons with stronger cross-shore winds might look more interesting than the paddle scene. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
