Alright, folks, Rusty here again, giving it to you straight. This outlook for Flagler Avenue is a tough pill to swallow. We're looking at a long, flat spell from Friday, July 10th, all the way through Saturday, July 25th, with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for.
The swell just isn't showing up. We’ve got tiny waves—mostly 1 to 2 feet—with short, weak periods from the ESE and NE. The wave energy never gets strong, staying in that weak range. The wind is mostly cross, cross-on, or onshore, chopping up what little bump there is. Sure, you'll see a few glassy mornings, like on Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th, but with waves barely 1 foot high, it's not even a knee-high dribble.
Later on, around Friday the 17th and into the next week, we finally get offshore and cross-off winds from the SW and SSW, which is a real tease. The surface is clean, but the swell is still pathetic, sitting at less than 1 to 2 feet. There's just nothing to work with. The water temp is a warm 85°, which is normal for this time of year, but there's nothing to surf in it. With all that weak, onshore chop early on, this beach setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There are zero standouts here. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the area when the swell windows aren't lining up.
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.
