Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flagler Avenue over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you on this one. The next 16 days at Flagler Avenue are looking like a write-off for any kind of decent surf. Straight up, there’s nothing to get excited about.
The whole stretch from now through the end of July is served by tiny swell. We’re talking ankle-to-knee high waves, mostly dribbling in from the ESE and NE. The fetch just isn’t there to push anything with any punch. The combined wave energy barely cracks double digits most days, sitting between a weak 6 and a moderate 69 through the entire period. That’s not surf, that’s a lake.
Because the swell is so small, the wind is the only thing that changes. You’ll get some glassy mornings on July 12, and again on the mornings of July 22, with that clean, oily surface, but there’s just no wave underneath it. On the 18th and 19th, we get a bit of offshore breeze from the WSW, cleaning up the surface, but again, the swell is practically non-existent at 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft.
Don’t even bother looking at the afternoons. The sea breeze kicks in from the SE or ESE, putting a chop on what little water movement there is. It’s messy, weak, and frustrating.
Honestly, for a beach/jetty setup like this, with hardly any wave height and sloppy conditions, it looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a paddle board. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so at least you can get a nice float in, but you won’t be catching any rides worth mentioning.
This is a blank run for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a solid two weeks of “don’t bother.” Keep the board in the car, check the charts later, and maybe take up fishing. Sometimes it just stays poor for a while.
Rusty.

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.
