The Lowdown
Alright, let me have a look at what's on the table for Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—it's a flat spell out there, and it's gonna be a long one. We're looking at a solid stretch of tiny, weak surf that barely changes until we get into the first week of August.
Right now, starting Saturday the 25th of July, it's pretty much a write-off. The swell is barely registering at 2 ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 43. The water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is about 3° cooler than usual for this time of year, so it's a bit colder than you'd expect for a summer paddle. Saturday morning is glassy, but the swell is so small it's just not worth getting wet.
This pattern of tiny, poor surf just drags on and on. The swell height stays below 2 ft for days, with the combined energy dropping into the teens and twenties. We get a few mornings with offshore wind, like Tuesday the 28th with a light offshore from the SSW, but the swell is only 1 ft. It's clean, but there's nothing to ride. The winds switch around a lot, but the swell never shows up. The whole first week is a dead zone.
We finally see a tiny pulse of life on the 7th of August, a Friday morning. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the ESE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 110, which is the first time we've seen triple digits. The conditions are clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. This is the best we're going to get, and it's still a pretty weak offering.
The pattern repeats on the 8th and 9th of August, with similar 2 ft to 3 ft swell from the east and southeast, and clean conditions in the morning. The energy is moderate, but the period is still short. It's not a standout, but if you're desperate, these mornings are your only real chance.
Honestly, there's no standout session here. The 7th and 8th of August mornings are the least bad options, with clean conditions and a touch more push, but it's not going to blow anyone's mind. The rest of the forecast is a flat, frustrating wait. For an exposed pier like this, we need a lot more to get excited about.

Information about the Flagler Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Flagler Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Flagler Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Flagler Pier 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 Pier) 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 Pier 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.
Flagler Pier is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Ormond Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ormond Beach. Ormond Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
