The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for Flagler Avenue over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a pretty bleak stretch. The entire 16-day window is choked with tiny, weak swell. We’re looking at a long gap of nothing but poor surf conditions from now until about the morning of August 19th. That’s a solid week of flat, gutless, or chopped-out waves. Don’t bother checking the cam.
Finally, around Wednesday morning the 19th, we get a little flicker of life. The swell picks up to 2ft from the East, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits a moderate 116, which is at least something to work with. The wind will be light offshore from the SW, making for clean conditions. It’s still only a "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" kind of day, and this is the only real standout in the whole forecast. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick suit.
After that brief tease, it’s right back to tiny, onshore junk for the rest of the window. The swell drops back to 2ft and below, with periods in the 8-9 second range and winds swinging onshore from the NE and ENE. It’s a pretty grim run overall. The break is very consistent, but even consistency can’t save a total lack of size and quality. For a beginner, anything over 5ft can be a handful, but here we never even get close to that, so the lack of quality is the real issue. On the plus side, it tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
