The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a straight look at the next 16 days for Flagler Avenue.
To be brutally honest, it’s a quiet stretch. The surf is tiny for almost the entire run, with wave heights struggling to reach even 3 ft most days. We’re looking at a long gap where there's nothing worth paddling out for. The first chance for anything rideable doesn't show until Wednesday morning the 22nd, and even then it’s just small, weak stuff. After that, we go into a proper drought from Thursday the 23rd all the way through to Monday the 3rd of August. That’s a solid, disappointing gap. The combined swell energy is very weak for the whole period, often only two-digit values in the 10-83 range, meaning there’s just no grunt in the water.
The only period that even hints at being surfable is that very start. On Wednesday morning the 22nd, Flagler Avenue will see a tiny 2 ft swell from the ESE. The period is a poor 8 seconds, so it’s weak and disorganised. However, the wind will be light cross-off from the SSE, keeping the surface clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch—more of a longboard or foiling wave if you’re desperate. The water temp is 84 °F, which is about normal for this time of year.
The rest of the forecast is just small onshore slop or tiny clean but powerless dribble. For the first few days of August, we get a tiny pulse from the ENE and ESE, but with heights at 2 ft to 2 ft, it's still not going to get you excited.
Honestly, for this 16-day window, Flagler Avenue is a pass. There are no standout days. The combination of very weak energy, small waves, and long gaps of total flatness means you’re better off leaving the boards in the car. Keep an eye on the charts, though—sometimes a summer spike can come out of nowhere.
Rusty.
