The Lowdown
Alright, I'm gonna shoot straight with you. I've pored over the whole 16-day window for Flagler Avenue, and the blunt truth is there's nothing to get your heart pumping. The wave energy is puny, the swell is ankle-high, and the conditions just aren't stacking up for a proper surf. This is a stretch where you're better off leaving the stick in the truck.
We kick off on Saturday, August 1st, with a pathetic 0.7ft Easterly swell. The energy is a meager 10 to 22. The morning has a light offshore breeze, so it's clean, but there's zero push. A risk of thunderstorms doesn't help. The water temp is 84°, which is pretty average for this time of year.
Sunday morning, August 2nd, is a hair better with a 2ft Easterly swell and the wind is cross-offshore, leaving it clean. But the period is a short 8 seconds, and the combined energy is only 33. It's still just poor surf. The wind swings more onshore in the afternoon.
The whole first week and into the second is a repeat of the same tune: small, weak Easterly to ESE swells, mostly between 1ft and 2ft. The swell period stays short, mostly between 6 and 8 seconds. The combined energy rarely gets above 50, and when it does, like on Saturday, August 8th, with 2ft and 64 energy, the wind is a moderate cross-shore that churns up the surface. There's a blink on Wednesday, August 12th, with a glassy morning on a 2ft swell, but it's still just too small to surf.
The only thing that changes is the wind. We get a few clean windows with light offshore or cross-off breezes, but the swell never delivers. The best you can hope for is a knee-high dribble.
About the only positive is that Flagler Avenue is very consistent for a beach/jetty break, so it tends not to stay this flat forever. But for this 16-day outlook, it's a dry spell. There is no standout day. There is no best option. The surf just isn't here.
