Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about Flagler Avenue.
Honestly, mate, it's a rough stretch for the next couple of weeks. For most of this period, we're looking at tiny swell and not much to get excited about. The surf is basically flat, with wave heights barely scraping 2 feet at best for days on end. The swell energy is weak, often sitting in the double digits (under 100 for most of it), which tells you how limp it is. The wind is mostly okay—there are some glassy mornings and clean windows—but without any real swell, it’s just a paddle. This break is very consistent, but it doesn't mean much when the consistency is for waves not worth paddling for. The water is a warm 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
From the 11th of July right through to the 22nd, the forecast is basically a flat spell. We get a sniff of something on the 23rd of July, which is over a week away. The morning of the 23rd sees a small bump—2 foot swell from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs a bit (51), and we’ve got light offshore wind from the SW. It’s surfable, but it's ordinary. The afternoon of the 23rd is the only real standout in the whole 16-day outlook. The swell nudges up to 3 feet from the ESE, and the energy jumps to 122, which is moderate. The wind goes glassy light from the SW. Clean, small, and rideable. It’s not a day to call in sick for, but it’s the best we’ve got. That tiny window continues into the morning of the 24th with similar 2 foot waves and gentle offshore wind, but nothing else lifts above that.
After that, we’re back into the doldrums. The morning of the 26th of July has some glassy 2 foot surf (51 energy), which is okay, but the wind turns onshore in the afternoon and kills it.
In short: the whole window is pretty flat. If you’re desperate, the 23rd of July afternoon is your target—clean, knee-to-waist high, but don't expect much.

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.
