The Lowdown
Well, folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf and mostly onshore or cross-shore breezes that are gonna keep things messy. If you’re jonesing for a wave, you might wanna take up kite surfing, because for the most part, the surfboard’s gonna stay in the car.
Right now, there’s just nothing on offer. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is all over the place. This flat spell is gonna hang around for a while. We’re looking at a solid run of days with no real surfable waves through the middle of the month. The energy in the water is super weak, with readings in the 30s and 40s (weak energy), which tells you everything you need to know. It’s not going to be worth the paddle out.
Now, there’s a little blip on the radar for the morning of the 19th, which is a Saturday. We finally see a bit of a pulse, with the swell bumping up to 4ft from the ENE with a short 7-second period. The combined energy jumps up to 161 (moderate). The wind is offshore, which is a big plus, and it’s looking clean. This could be the one window in this whole stretch where you might actually find a rideable wave at Flagler Avenue (Florida) . It’s not going to be perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. The offshore wind will help tidy it up, but that short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly.
But don’t get too excited. That little pulse is short-lived. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it’s back to messy conditions. Then, from the 20th onwards, a fresh breeze from the NE kicks in with some strong winds at 19-22 mph, putting a real chop on top of an already unimpressive swell. The energy reads as moderate (150-161), but it’s all for nothing with that wind and short period putting the brakes on any quality. It’s just going to be a blown-out mess. That’s a long way out, so don't book the time off work for it just yet—long-range calls are always a bit of a gamble, but it's the only glimmer we’ve got.
As for the water, it's sitting right around 83°, which is spot-on for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit. Just don’t expect to be doing much surfing in it.
So, bottom line: hold tight, keep the board in the rack, and maybe take up a new hobby for a week or two. The surf is going to be a no-show for most of the window, but that one morning on the 19th might just offer a little something. Fingers crossed.
Rusty, out.

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.
