The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this out there. The long-range picture is pretty grim for Flagler Pier, to be honest. There’s a whole lot of small, weak surf and poor conditions on the horizon. I’ve been staring at the charts and it’s looking like we’re in for a rough stretch with very little to get excited about.
Looking at the start of the period, we're staring down the barrel of a flat spell. For days on end, the swell energy is just pathetic, with values mostly in the 20s and 30s. There’s nothing rideable at all until we get to the 20th of September. That’s a solid week and a half of barely a ripple. It’s going to be a long one, folks.
Now, when we finally do see a pulse of energy, it's not much to write home about. The standout, if you can even call it that, is the morning of Sunday the 20th. We’ll see a little 2ft NE swell pushing in with a light offshore wind from the SW. The energy is still weak at 50, but it might be the cleanest, most surfable window we get. It's not going to be epic, but it’s something. The period is only 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit short and crumbly, but with such light wind, it could clean up enough for a few grovelly ones. I'd say this is the only real chance for a paddle.
After that fleeting moment, it looks like it gets messy again. The winds turn onshore and the swell stays small and weak. There’s a blip of energy on the 22nd with the swell jumping to 3ft, but it's coming with a 5-second period and a strong cross-onshore wind, making it completely junky. It’ll be choppy and messy, more like a washing machine than a surfable wave. With that kind of wind and poor shape, it seems like this setup might be more interesting for the kite surfers than us.
Water temp is about average for this time of year. Not much else to say there. The whole forecast is just a lesson in patience. This blank run is pretty common for the area, so don't lose hope. Forecasts can change, and we usually don't stay this flat for long.

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.
