The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for Flagler Avenue over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The overall pattern is small, weak, and messy. We’re looking at a real long haul before anything with a pulse shows up.

We start off with practically nothing. Friday the 11th through to the 21st of September, it’s mostly dribble. Waves are hanging around that tiny 1 to 2 ft range with weak energy readings in the teens and thirties. The direction is coming out of the ESE and E, which isn’t ideal for this exposed beach/jetty setup that much prefers a NNE direction. Winds are a mixed bag, but mostly cross-off or cross-on, keeping the surface pretty average. There are a few brief windows of glassy conditions – like Sunday the 13th morning and Monday the 14th morning – but with such tiny swell, it’s just flat clean. Honestly, it’s poor surf conditions across the board. A tough run.

Then we hit a bit of a shift around the 21st and 22nd of September. The swell starts to show some life, with a NNE windswell pushing in. Monday the 21st afternoon sees a jump to 4-5 ft from the NE, with the combined energy hitting 231 – that’s finally some moderate juice. The problem? That onshore wind is howling at 15 mph from the NE, making a mess of the surface. It looks more interesting for the kite crew than a paddle surfer.

Tuesday the 22nd holds similar size at 4-5 ft, still from the NE, with energy in the 244 range, but the wind stays strong and cross-on from the NNW and N at 15 mph. It’s gonna be lumpy and choppy. A bit of a washout.

The late-period stuff on the 23rd and 24th still has some moderate energy (178 and 116), but the wind doesn’t clean up enough to make it a standout.

There is no standout session in this 16-day window. The best potential looks to be that pulse on the 21st afternoon and 22nd, but only for experienced surfers on a bigger board who can handle the onshore bump. Beginners should sit this whole period out. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year.

Talk to you later. Keep your eye on the horizon.

Information about the Flagler Avenue Surf forecast

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. Our Flagler Avenue surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Flagler Avenue) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. 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.
