Alright, let's break this down for the imperial crew. Flagler Avenue is looking pretty grim for the next couple of weeks, so I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
The first week is basically a bust. From Monday the 6th through Wednesday the 8th, we're looking at ankle-biters measuring 1 foot or less. Tuesday morning the 7th is dead glassy, which would be beautiful, but with a 1-foot wave, you're just standing on a glassy lake. The wave energy is super weak, sitting in the single digits for combined energy most of the time.
The only times the energy kicks up a bit are Wednesday afternoon the 8th and Thursday afternoon the 9th, but even then the swell is only 3 to 3 feet at best. It's coming from the ESE with a short 9-second period, and the wind is cross-shore and moderate, making it choppy and unappealing.
You get a couple of mornings that are "surfable but ordinary" – Thursday the 9th and Wednesday the 15th. We're talking maybe 2 to 2 feet. Even when the wind is offshore and clean, like on Wednesday afternoon the 15th of July with a moderate offshore breeze, the waves are just too small to get excited about. Maybe you'll find a little 2-foot runner.
Water temp is around 85°, which is normal for the season, so at least the swimming's nice.
The whole setup is a beach/jetty spot that's exposed but with no swell arriving, and the crowds are "often" there, but with nothing to ride it's a moot point. This is just a classic mid-summer flat spell. It'll turn around eventually.

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.
