The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Flagler Pier.
Straight up, I’m looking at a pretty bleak stretch for the next couple of weeks. The waves are small, the energy is weak, and the conditions are mostly messy. We’re looking at a long run of days where it’s just not going to be worth paddling out.
The first real chance we get is right at the start, on Tuesday, 14 July. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, and the wind is coming from the W at 9 mph, which gives us a cross-off breeze. The water temp is 83°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is a weak 69, but the wind direction keeps things clean. It’s small, but it’s the best we’ve got, and it’s a beach/pier setup so it’s exposed. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only nod we get early on.
After that, it’s a real drag. From Wednesday, 15 July through to Saturday, 25 July, it’s a flat spell. The swell barely reaches 2ft, and when it does, the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, and even some glassy mornings with zero swell. The energy readings are pathetic, mostly in the teens and twenties. There’s a couple of glassy mornings on the 17th, 18th, and 19th with 0.5ft to 2ft, but it’s just not enough to ride. Even the offshore winds on the 20th and 21st can’t save it.
The one bright spot, and I mean the only one worth highlighting, is the morning of Saturday, 25 July. The forecast says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and for this stretch, that’s a win. The swell is 2ft from the E with an 8-second period, and the wind is a light SSE cross-off at 6 mph. The combined energy creeps up to 50 – still weak, but it’s the highest we’ve seen in a week. The waves are clean, but it’s tiny. If you’re desperate, you might get a few knee-high sliders.
Later in the week, the energy picks up a bit. On the 28th and 29th, we see combined energy hitting 125 and 145, with swells up to 3ft from the ESE. But the wind is a cross-shore mess, 15 mph, making it choppy and poor. It’s not worth it.
Overall, this is a quiet period. The only standout is that Saturday, 25 July morning, but keep your expectations on the floor. For the rest of it, leave the board at home.
Rusty.

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.
