The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.

Honestly, looking at the next 16 days for Flagler Avenue, it’s a pretty flat and quiet stretch. For the first week, from Sunday August 2nd right through to Saturday August 8th, the surf is just sad. Swell heights are barely a ripple, mostly hanging around 1 ft to 4 ft, and the wind is all over the shop – onshore, cross-onshore, or just messy. You’ll be looking at a lot of poor surf conditions with no real energy. The combined energy of all swells is weak, sitting between 21 and 149. It’s a tough run for anyone wanting to paddle out.

Now, there’s a hint of life on Sunday August 9th. The morning glass off with a slight air and light wind from the east at 5 km/h will scrub the surface glassy clean. The swell is only 3 ft from the ESE, with a period of 6 seconds – short period, so it won’t have much grunt but it’s surfable. The combined swell energy is a weak 54. It’s nothing special, but it’s the only window where you might get a couple of limp, knee-high lines to yourself. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit dramas.

After that, from Monday August 10th onwards, we sink back into a long, flat spell. The swell drops to 1.0 ft to 2 ft for days, with barely any energy. The combined energy values fall to single digits and low teens. There are long gaps of several days with no real surf on offer. The wind tries to be offshore or cross-off a few times, but there’s simply no swell to work with.

This is a classic case of a blank run for the area. It’s more normal for Flagler Avenue to go quiet for a stretch like this. Forecasts can change, but right now, the only day worth checking is the morning of Sunday August 9th. Keep your eyes on the horizon, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
