G'day, Rusty here. Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Flagler Avenue over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty flat stretch ahead. There’s nothing pumping, nothing even remotely decent. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out run of tiny, weak waves that won’t get the heart racing. The swell energy is negligible, mostly sitting between 8 and 39 on the energy scale – that's about as weak as it gets. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there, but you won't be needing anything more than boardshorts anyway.
Starting from Sunday the 12th through to the end of the month, it’s all pretty grim. We’ve got tiny 1 to 2 ft ESE wind swell with short, weak periods of 6 to 9 seconds. Nothing with any push. On the plus side, there are plenty of light wind moments, and even a glassy morning on Wednesday the 15th with a north 5 km/h breeze. That’ll make the surface look pretty, but you’ll be floating around on ankle-biters. The best of the wind comes on Monday the 13th, with a light SSW offshore breeze (10 km/h) keeping things clean, but again, it’s on 1 to 2 ft surf.
There is no true standout here. Nothing comes close. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any kind of quality wave. For a spot that’s exposed to NNE swells, we’re just not getting the right direction or any size. Even the bigger afternoons, like Wednesday the 15th and Friday the 17th, only manage a combined energy of 51 and 42 – still very weak.
Given the lack of swell, the consistent light winds, and the beach/jetty setup, this stretch is looking far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. For the rest of us, save the petrol and wait for the next system.
Rusty.

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.
