The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Flagler Avenue in terms you can feel. For the next 16 days, it’s a real bummer. There are no good surf options on the menu. The waves are just too flat and weak to get your heart pumping.

We’re looking at a long, dry spell starting Sunday, July 19th. Right through the end of the month, the swell is tiny. We’re talking about knee-high dribble, with a combined energy that rarely gets out of the double digits, mostly between 15 and 68 (weak energy). The period is short, between 4 and 8 seconds, so there’s no power. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, and even when it’s glassy, there’s nothing to push you around.

The only little flicker of hope comes on Saturday afternoon, July 25th. The combined energy jumps to 134 (moderate energy), with a 3ft swell from the ESE. The wind goes light offshore from the SSW, so the surface will be clean. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and that’s the best we get. It’s still small and weak. Then it’s gone again.

The water temp is a warm 84°F, which is normal for this time of year at Flagler Avenue.

Since the swell never gets above 3ft, it’s safe for beginners, but there’s just nothing to catch. The energy is weak, the swell is small, and the quality is poor. This spot needs a north-northeast swell to work, and we’re getting the wrong stuff from the southeast and east.

Don’t waste your time. The forecast could change, but right now, it’s a washout. This setup looks more like a light wind kiteboarding day than a surf session.

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.
