Flagler Avenue Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s see what Flagler Avenue has cooking. Honestly, it’s a quiet stretch. Over the next 16 days, there’s no real swell to get your heart pumping. The first few days are flat, with poor conditions and tiny waves. The swell is all short-period wind swell, under 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak, ranging from 15 to 93. It’s a slow start.

The first time we get anything that’s even surfable is Saturday morning, July 25th. But even then, it’s just 2 ft of swell from the east, with a period of 8 seconds, and energy of 53 (weak). The wind is light and cross-off, so it’s clean, but the waves are small and ordinary. Not a standout, just a chance to get wet if you’re really keen.

The next real moment is Tuesday, July 28th. The morning has a light offshore wind from the southwest, and the swell is still tiny at 2 ft from the east, period 8 seconds, energy 50 (weak). The afternoon picks up a little more energy (82) with a clean offshore breeze, but the waves are still small and unremarkable. It’s ordinary, but it’s the best we’ve got. For a beginner, these tiny, clean waves might be okay, but for anyone else, it’s a stretch.

Thursday, July 30th afternoon has a gentle offshore wind and 1 ft of east swell, period 8 seconds. It’s clean, but again, tiny.

The most interesting moment of the whole forecast? That might be Saturday morning, August 1st. We get a glassy morning with 1.0 ft of swell from the east-southeast, period 9 seconds. The energy is only 22, but that glassy surface is a rare treat. Unfortunately, the swell is just too small to call it a real surf day.

Overall, this is a flat spell for Flagler Avenue. The best option is the Tuesday morning or afternoon on July 28th, but even that is just ordinary, small, and clean. If you’re a beginner looking for a safe, tiny wave in okay wind, that’s your window. Otherwise, the board stays on the rack.
