The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you – things are looking pretty flat around here for the foreseeable future. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much on the cards, so let’s break it down.
We’re starting off with a bit of a dud. For the first few days, there’s just nothing doing. We’ve got a gap from the start of the period all the way through to the morning of Friday the 4th of September. That’s a solid four days of poor surf conditions, with tiny swell and wind all over the shop. Not worth paddling out for.
Friday the 4th of September morning finally shows a glimmer of life. Flagler Avenue is seeing small 2 ft swell from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and clean, coming from the SSE, which is a cross-offshore breeze. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The combined energy is weak at just 50. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but don’t expect any fireworks.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From Friday afternoon through to the morning of Tuesday the 15th of September, we’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, poor-quality surf. The swell drops to 1 ft most days, with weak energy readings mostly in the teens or twenties. The wind is all over the place – onshore, cross-onshore, cross-shore – and it’s not gonna be any fun. There’s a couple of glassy mornings, like the 8th and the 15th, but with hardly any swell, it’s just flat and clean. Not worth the drive.
The one standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September. We get a bit of a bump. Flagler Avenue sees 3 ft swell from the east, but the period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s gonna be a bit crumbly. The wind is glassy, though, with a light WNW breeze making it clean. The combined energy is still weak at 58, but it’s the best we’ve got. It’s surfable but very ordinary. For a beginner, it’s a goer, but more experienced surfers will be left wanting.
Overall, it’s a bleak run. Flagler Avenue is a beach and jetty break, and with the swell being so small, the setup isn’t really doing anything for paddle surfing. If you’ve got a kite, you might find something to do on the windier afternoons, but for us regular surfers, it’s a waiting game. The good news is that Flagler is a very consistent spot, so this flat spell is a bit unusual; it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts.
