The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – we’ve got a long stretch of pretty flat water ahead. The next 16-day window at Flagler Avenue is a real bummer for surfers. The only spot that’s even on the radar is Flagler Avenue itself, a beach/jetty setup that’s super consistent but is just not seeing any love from the ocean.
We’re looking at a solid gap of almost no worthwhile surf. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.6 ft to 2 ft, and the energy is weak. The water temp is sitting at 84° which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The smallest bit of hope comes right at the end of the month. On the morning of Thursday, July 30th, we get a glassy, calm morning with a tiny 2 ft, 8-second easterly swell. The combined energy is a weak 49. It’s still “poor surf” by the numbers, but a glassy, clean session on a longboard or a foamie might be just enough to wet the line. The morning of Friday, July 31st is similar, with a clean 2 ft of easterly swell and light winds. Don't expect any power, but for a waist-high glide, it’s the most you’ll get.
Don’t bother with the afternoons; they get chopped up by a cross-shore sea breeze. Honestly, for the next two weeks, this coast is looking more like a kitesurfing or swimming spot than a surf break. The swell is just too small and weak to push any real waves. I’d keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
