The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be real – this outlook for Flagler Avenue is a bummer. We’re looking at a full 16 days where the surf just isn’t happening. It’s a long stretch of flat, weak conditions with nothing to get stoked about. The good news is this break is very consistent, so a run like this is unusual, and forecasts can always change. But for now, we’re just watching the tide go in and out.
We start Monday, July 20th, with a tiny 2ft swell from the SE, but it’s short-period junk at 5 seconds and the wind is a cross-off from the SSE. The combined energy is a weak 21, so there’s nothing to work with, and it’s labeled as poor. Tuesday the 21st is even worse, with a 0.3ft bump in the morning that’s basically a lake. The pattern holds through the week – tiny swells, poor conditions, and no real power. The water temp is around 84°F, which is about average for the time of year.
We finally see a slight pulse on Saturday, July 25th, with a 2ft easterly swell and a period of 8 seconds. The wind goes light offshore from the SSW in the morning, making it clean. The energy is still weak at 61, but it’s surfable – just very ordinary. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore breeze.
The rest of the outlook is a repeating pattern of tiny 1ft to 2ft swells from the ESE or E. There are some clean windows with offshore winds or glassy conditions, especially on the 27th, 29th, and 30th, but the size just isn’t there. The closest we get to anything interesting is the afternoon of July 31st, where a 2ft ESE swell with a 10-second period bumps the combined energy to 100. It’s still knee-high at best, but the period is a little longer, and with glassy conditions, it’s the most promising moment in the whole run. Still, only a 1 out of 10, so don’t get your hopes up.
From August 1st onwards, it’s more of the same – tiny swells, poor conditions, and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind. Tuesday, August 4th, has a 1ft onshore bump that’s not worth paddling out for.
This is a classic Florida summer flat spell. There’s nothing here for a surfer, but if you’ve got a kiteboard, the stronger afternoon winds on days like the 21st, 22nd, and 24th might make it interesting.
Rusty.

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.
