The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up: we’ve got a pretty flat run ahead. The entire 16-day outlook is a real slow grind with nothing that’s going to get the heart pumping.
Starting off now, the first few days are a bust. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell at Flagler Avenue. Sunday morning the 6th has a little 1ft ESE swell, but with a period around 8 seconds, there’s just no energy (combined swell energy of 14). The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is about average for this time of year. That little bump fades out even more in the afternoon.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are more of the same – knee high at best, with periods under 8 seconds and very low combined energy (20 to 82). Wednesday the 9th sees a slight bump to 3ft from the NE, and the combined energy finally climbs to 145 (moderate), but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s showing as “poor surf conditions”. Not worth paddling out.
Thursday morning the 10th gives us “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” with 3ft ENE swell and a 1 out of 10 rating. The combined energy is only 80 (weak), and the wind is light cross-off, so it’s clean-ish, but it’s just too small and weak to be fun.
The whole stretch from the 11th to the 21st of September is a long, drawn-out gap with nothing to recommend. Swell heights hover around 1ft to 2ft, periods are short (6-9 seconds), and the combined energy rarely breaks 40. Winds are mostly cross-shore or onshore, with a few glassy moments that just don’t have enough swell behind them. Even the glassy mornings (like Friday the 11th morning and Monday the 14th morning with 1-2ft) are only producing “poor surf conditions.”
The best on offer – and I use that term loosely – is Wednesday morning the 16th. It has 2ft from the east, light cross-off wind, and a “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” comment with a 1 out of 10 rating. The combined energy is 65 (weak). It’s clean, but it’s small.
Honestly, I’d leave the board in the car and go for a swim. This is a classic flat spell for Flagler Avenue. The consistency here is supposed to be very consistent, but when the swell’s this weak, even a consistent spot stays poor. Forecasts can always change, but in the 16-day window, there’s nothing worth chasing. Rusty signing off.

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.
