G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – this Flagler Avenue stretch is looking like a flat spell for the foreseeable future. We’re talking a solid 16-day run with nothing worth paddling out for. The wave heights barely tickle 2 ft most days, and the combined swell energy is pitiful, staying under 100 (weak) nearly the whole time. There’s no proper south-west swell filling in, and what little east-south-east windswell we get is short-period, around 8 seconds, with no power behind it. The water temp is sitting at 84° with a 0.9° anomaly, so it’s about average for this time of year – warm, but that’s the only thing going for it.

Starting Sunday the 5th through the weekend, it’s all knee-high dribble. Sunday morning, we’ve got a light 6 mph south-west offshore breeze, which would clean up the 1 ft swell if there was any push, but there isn’t. Afternoon turns cross-off with 12 mph from the south-south-east, still only 1 ft. Into Monday the 6th, morning is glassy with a 3 mph south-west offshore, swell a measly 1 ft, energy a pathetic 12. Not a wave to be had. Tuesday the 7th brings a bit more height, 3 ft in the afternoon, but it’s a 4-second windswell with 15 mph south-easterly cross-shore wind – that’s pure chop for the kites, not surfers.

We see a tiny bump Thursday the 9th morning, with 2 ft and energy hitting 76 – still weak. The SSE wind is offshore at 6 mph, so it’s clean, but the wave comment says it all: “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s as good as it gets, and it’s not good. After that, we slide back into days of 1 ft to 2 ft, with cross-shore winds and zero energy. Friday the 11th morning has a glassy 2 ft, but still no power.

The second week is more of the same. Monday the 14th afternoon has a glassy 2 ft from the east-south-east with 53 energy – again, “ordinary conditions.” Wednesday the 16th, Thursday, Friday, all 1 ft to 2 ft with cross-shore breezes and energy in the 20s to 60s. The final weekend, Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, offers a glassy morning on the 19th with a 1 ft, 5-second windswell – energy 22 – but that’s it.

Honestly, mate, this is a dead period. No standouts, no recommendations. The spot is very consistent for getting small waves, but they’re all too weak and too short to ride. If you’re desperate, the best chance might be Thursday the 9th morning with that 2 ft and offshore wind, but you’ll be walking back in after two strokes. For a beach/jetty setup like Flagler Avenue, with poor surf quality and strong cross-shore winds on many afternoons, it’s more of a kitesurfing or paddleboard zone if you’re bored. We’ll hope the forecasts change, but for now, leave the board in the car.

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.

Flagler Avenue is 4 km (2 miles) from New Smyrna Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in New Smyrna Beach. New Smyrna Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
