Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flagler Avenue over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get real about Flagler Avenue.
To be straight with you, the next two and a half weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet. There are no good surf options on offer at all across the entire 16-day window. Every single day gets a "poor surf conditions" call, and the wave heights are tiny – we’re talking about knee-high slop at best, mostly in the 0.7 ft to 3 ft range. The combined swell energy never gets out of the weak zone, topping out at a measly 78 (that's weak energy). It’s a sad run for Flagler Avenue.
The water temperature right now is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least the water’s nice for a swim.
The real kicker is the swell direction. Flagler Avenue (United States) needs a swell from the NNE to work properly, but for the entire forecast period, we’re stuck with tiny, short-period pulses from the ESE or SE. That’s a total mismatch. The wind does offer a few moments of clean conditions – like Sunday morning, July 12th, with glassy conditions and a light 3 mph westerly, or Monday morning, July 13th, with a clean 3 mph offshore from the SW. But with no swell to work with, clean conditions don’t mean a thing for surfing.
There’s a brief oddball on Monday afternoon, July 20th, where the wind goes completely calm and glassy with a 2 ft ESE swell, but the period is a miserable 4 seconds and the energy is only 31. That’s just wind chop with no push. It looks more interesting for a paddleboard session than a surfboard.
Because almost every day here is listed as “very consistent” for the break, this kind of flat spell isn’t totally unheard of, but it does feel like a long blank run. The good news for Flagler is that it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, leave the board at home and enjoy the beach.

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.
