The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s coming our way for Flagler Pier.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a long, dry spell. It’s a tough stretch for the next week and a half with nothing much to get excited about. From now until the 12th of September, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells and mostly ordinary to poor conditions. You’ll see some knee-high slop with combined energy barely breaking 50 or 100, just a dribble of E or ESE swell around 0.7ft to 3ft. Winds will be messing things up – cross, cross-on, and cross-off – no good clean windows for any real quality. There’s a couple of glassy moments on the 8th and 11th, but without any push behind it, it’s just flat and pretty.
Then we hit Sunday, the 13th of September, and that’s our standout. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We get a jump in size with a solid 6ft of ENE swell heading in. The combined energy jumps to 305, so there’s finally some proper grunt in the water. The morning looks magic – glassy conditions, light offshore cross-off wind from the SSW, and clean faces. This is not one for the beginners though; at over 5ft, it starts to get a bit punchy. It's going to be a fun, hollow wave at the pier if you’re an intermediate or above. The afternoon sees the wind turn onshore from the ESE and chop it up, but that morning window is your best bet in this whole forecast.
Monday the 14th still has some leftover energy around 4ft from the ENE, but the wind on Monday afternoon gets messy again. Still, the morning on the 14th starts glassy – it will be a bit weaker than Sunday, but worth a look for a clean, fun session if you missed the main event.
After that, it trails off again. We get another small bump around Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th with 4ft ENE swells, but periods stay short and the winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping things average at best. Nothing like that Sunday the 13th session.
Water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year by just over a degree. Still plenty warm for a spring suit or just boardshorts.
So, for this whole 16-day window, the call is: wait for Sunday the 13th of September. That morning at Flagler Pier is the real standout. Everything else is a long wait or a sideshow. Keep your eyes on the horizon.

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.
