The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve had a look at the charts for Flagler Avenue. Honestly, I’m a bit bummed to tell you this, but it’s looking like a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The models are showing a whole lot of nothing for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a full 16-day window here, but there’s really no standout surf on the cards. The first few days, all the way through the end of July, the swell is tiny and the energy is weak. You’re looking at ankle to maybe knee-high dribble, with the combined energy mostly sitting in the single digits to low double digits (10). It’s a real struggle.
The water temp is sitting right around 83°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The only real highlights, if you can call them that, come right at the start of August. On the morning of Saturday, August 1st, we might see a tiny pulse of 1ft from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy bumps up a little (63). It’s still small, but it’s the best we’ll see. The wind is a light cross-onshore, making it a bit choppy, but it’s the only time the numbers even get close to being interesting. Sunday the 2nd looks even smaller again.
Honestly, for most of this run, the conditions are just not there. The swell is too small, the period is short, and the sandbars at Flagler Avenue aren’t going to do anything with it. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe that Saturday morning, August 1st, is your best bet, but keep expectations low. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. Sometimes that’s just how it goes around here. We’ll have to wait for the next weather system to shake things up.

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.
