The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in from Flagler Avenue. Let's talk about what's comin' our way.
First off, the honest truth: the next week and a half is gonna test your patience. We're talkin' about a whole lot of days where there's just no energy in the water. From Friday the 11th right through to Friday the 18th, you're lookin' at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf. Yeah, we get some glassy mornings, but the swell is just a ripple. Mid-week, on Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, a windswell pops up to about chest-high (5-6 ft), but it's short-period, choppy, and blown out with onshore winds. That's not a paddle wave, that's a kite session.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 19th. The morning is dead flat and glassy, with a tiny knee-high wave. It's clean, but tiny.
Now, here's the one you've been waitin' for. Saturday the 26th of September is the standout of the whole outlook. The afternoon is gonna be good. We get a moderate offshore breeze from the southwest cleaning up a solid groundswell. You're lookin' at a 4 ft swell from the ENE with a period of 12 seconds – that's a proper, long-period swell with a ton of energy, reading at 469. The waves will have good shape and punch, and the offshore wind will make 'em smooth and peeling. The water temp is around 82°, which is pretty standard for now.
Before that, keep an eye on Tuesday the 22nd of September. The afternoon session shows a cross-offshore wind with a 5 ft swell from the NE, period of 9 seconds, and solid energy at 359. That'll be a fun, clean session, just not the standout.
For the rest of the days, like Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st, the mornings will be glassy but there's just no swell. You're gonna have to sit tight. Flagler Avenue can get crowded when it's good, so when that window opens on the 26th, you better be there.
Rusty, out.

A general guide to surfing at Flagler Avenue can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
