The Lowdown
Alright, I’m lookin’ at the crystal ball for Flagler Pier, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s gonna be a rough stretch for us paddle surfers. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off.
We start off with some weak, short-period energy, but it’s all tangled up with onshore winds and stormy conditions. The first few days are just a write-off. Tuesday the 8th through Wednesday the 9th, we’ve got a feeble 3ft NE swell at 7-8 seconds, but with a stiff onshore breeze and storm risk, it’s gonna be a messy, blown-out mess. The combined energy is a weak 113 to 138, which is barely enough to get excited about, and the water’s sitting at a warm 83°, which is about normal for this time of year.
We do get a little window on Thursday morning the 10th. The swell drops to 2ft from the ENE at 7 seconds, and we get a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is real low at 64, but the conditions clean up. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That’s the best we’ve got, and it’s not saying much.
After that, it’s a long, grim slide. From Friday the 11th all the way through to the end of the outlook on Wednesday the 23rd, we’re looking at tiny, gutless waves – mostly 1ft to 2ft – with a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds. There are a few glassy moments, like Saturday the 12th morning and Monday the 14th morning, and even a dead calm on Tuesday the 15th morning, but the swell is so weak (energy dropping to 20-40) you’d be lucky to catch a ripple.
The winds get nasty towards the end, with a strong breeze from the north on the 22nd and 23rd, making it lumpy and messy. For a beach and pier setup like Flagler Pier, this kind of weak, short-period swell with onshore wind is just a kiteboarder’s dream, not a surfer’s. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Honestly, it’s a blank run. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s not a single standout day in this 16-day stretch. I’d keep the board in the car and wait for a better run.

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.
