The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look what's in store for us over the next couple of weeks at Flagler Avenue.
Honestly, it's gonna be a tough stretch. The forecast is looking pretty bleak for a solid run. We've got a long gap of nothing but flat, windy, or choppy junk to start. From now all the way through to the morning of the 29th of September, conditions are just poor with onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. That's a lot of days to wait for any kind of hope.
The only real standout is shaping up for the morning of Tuesday, the 29th. For a brief window, we might get a bit of a break. The wind is forecast to go glassy from the WNW, which is a massive positive for cleaning things up. Swell will be a small 3 ft from the NE, with weak energy. It's not going to be a classic day, just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but after all the junk, even that will feel like a gift.
Then on Wednesday the 30th, watch out. The forecast shows a big pulse of energy arriving with a 10 ft swell from the ENE. The morning looks clean with light offshore winds. But that much size at Flagler Avenue is just going to close out and be a washing machine. This one is strictly for the experts only; for everyone else, it’s a spectator sport.
So, the honest truth: there’s nothing worth getting excited about for over a week. The best chance for a paddle comes on the morning of the 29th, but don't expect much. After that, things get big and dangerous. Keep an eye on the forecast, because it might shift, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
