The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this region. We’ve got Flagler Avenue under the microscope, and I’ll be honest with you... it’s a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks. There’s a long, dry spell ahead, so don’t be in a rush to wax the board.
We start off with a bit of a tease on Friday morning, September 4th. There’s a small 2ft swell from the east, with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (51). The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, so it’s clean, but it’s really just tiny, weak waves. Not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate for a splash. After that, it’s a dead zone. From Friday afternoon all the way through to the end of the forecast on Saturday, September 19th, the surf is basically non-existent. Every session is marked as "poor surf conditions" with swells barely above 1ft and energy readings that are almost all in the double digits. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
You’ll see a few moments of glassy conditions, like Tuesday morning, September 8th, with zero wind, and Thursday morning, September 10th, also glassy. But the swell is so small (1ft to 2ft) that it’s just a flat, oily lake. There’s no power, no push. The only real bump in the road comes on Monday, September 14th, when the swell jumps to 5ft from the ENE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (175), but the wind is onshore and strong, blowing 15 mph from the ENE. That’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess, not a session you’d enjoy. It’s a beach/jetty setup, so with that wind and short-period swell, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, the bottom line: there are no standout sessions here. The entire 16-day window is a bust for decent surf. It’s a long dry spell, and that’s just how it goes sometimes in this area. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the garage.
