The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook, but in feet and Fahrenheit.
We’re in a real tough spot. The forecast is a long, dry stretch with hardly anything to get the blood pumping. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Wednesday, September 9th. From now all the way through Tuesday the 8th, it’s a total bust. Tiny, bumpy, wind-blown junk with swell heights under 1 foot and periods that are just plain ugly. The wind is all over the place, mostly sideshore or onshore, and the energy is weak. Don’t bother.
The Only Glimmer of Hope
That’s Flagler Avenue. It’s a beach and jetty, and it’s super consistent, but that doesn’t mean it’s good. The one moment worth mentioning is the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. We’ve got a 3ft swell sneaking in from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 145, which is finally in the moderate range. The big win is the wind – it’s glassy. The surface will be clean, but it’s a short-period, weak swell. It’s going to be soft and mushy, fine for a beginner to get a feel for it, but nothing special. The water temp is about normal for the season.
That same afternoon, the wind goes onshore and it’s back to the poor stuff. Thursday morning, the 10th, might have another glassy window, but the swell is only 2ft and the energy is low (69). After that, it’s a depressing slide into tiny, choppy mess for the rest of the 16 days. The second week has absolutely nothing worth waiting for.
So, if you’re scratching an itch, be on the water early on the 9th. Otherwise, leave the board in the car. This is just one of those stretches where the area goes quiet, and it’s a normal pattern when there’s no real swell coming.
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.

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.
