The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. Let's be real, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and lifeless for Flagler Avenue. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and messy conditions ahead. The water temp is sitting around 86°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock to the system.
The first real sign of life doesn't show up until the morning of Friday, August 28th. Even then, it's just a small 2ft swell from the ESE with a clean offshore wind, something you'd call 'surfable but very ordinary.' Those conditions are a bit of a tease. The same goes for the morning of Saturday, August 29th, with a similar 2ft swell from the east. You’ll be scratching for every little runner.
Then there's a bit of a gap. The next decent chance rolls in on the morning of Sunday, August 30th. We get a 2ft groundswell from the east with a glassy, clean surface. The swell period is a solid 13 seconds, so there’s some energy behind it, but it’s still not much. It’s the best of a pretty average lot, but don’t expect barrels.
Monday, September 1st, is probably the standout, but it's a long way off. The morning brings a 2ft east swell and a 13-second period, again glassy and clean. It’s the best-looking window in the whole forecast, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep your expectations in check.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, Flagler Avenue is a beginner's playground or a longboarder’s flat-day session. If you’re an expert looking for power, you’ll be sorely disappointed. The long-period groundswells around August 30th and September 1st will be best for a point or reef, but on a beach/jetty setup like this, they might just break too straight. The setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session right now.

A general guide to surfing at Flagler Avenue can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
