The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Flagler Avenue. It's looking like a slow couple of weeks, no sugar-coating it.
From now until mid-August, it's mostly flat or close to it. We're talking tiny, weak windswell from the east and southeast with combined energy numbers all under 100 (34 to 106). That's just barely a pulse. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
The only real blip on the radar is Sunday, August 16th in the afternoon. Swell bumps to 2ft from the ESE with a combined energy of 50. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. Monday, August 17th morning is similar, with clean 2ft surf. That's it for recommendations in a 16-day window, so you can see how sparse it is.
For a spot that's very consistent and exposed like Flagler, a blank run this long is unusual but not unheard of. Most days the wind is either cross-onshore or onshore, ruining any tiny bump we get. With the small size and messy wind, I'd say this stretch looks better for a kite than a longboard.
We just need a better day to roll through. Hang tight.

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.
