The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut it straight: Flagler Pier is in for a lean couple of weeks. The surf is tiny for days on end, and the first real hint of anything rideable doesn’t show up until we’re well into August. Until then, it’s a patience game.
Right now, late July, we’ve got some clouds and a light cross-onshore breeze with waves barely scraping 2 ft. The energy is flat, only 28 (weak) on the scale. Water temp is 82°, which is a touch cooler than normal for this time of year—nothing crazy, but you’ll feel it.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th, the swell drops even more to 1 ft. Tuesday morning goes offshore and clean, but there’s no push behind it. Combined energy drops to 20 (weak). You’re floating, not surfing.
Wednesday the 29th through the end of July, it’s the same sad story. Swell between 0.7 ft and 1 ft, occasional offshore winds keeping it pretty, but the energy barely touches 15 (weak). A full week of almost nothing.
We finally get a little bump on Tuesday the 4th of August. Morning goes glassy—dead calm—with waist-high waves at 2 ft from the ESE. Combined energy climbs to 58 (still weak). It’s surfable, but ordinary. That glassy window is your best shot for the whole outlook.
Wednesday the 5th offers another glassy morning with 2 ft, but the afternoon chop kills it. The rest of that week stays puny, with waves between 1 ft and 2 ft and energy never hitting 60. Winds are mostly onshore or cross in the afternoons.
Into the weekend of August 9th and 10th, the swell switches to the NE with a period of 9 to 10 seconds—longer period, so better shape but longer lulls. At 1 ft, it’s still tiny. Combined energy sits around 30 to 45 (weak). Clean mornings with light southerly winds could give you a few fun little rides on a longboard.
The standout? Tuesday morning, August 4th. Glassy, 2 ft from the ESE. It’s not firing, but it’s the only time you’re not fighting wind or staring at flat water. For the rest, grab a log and get comfortable. The ocean is taking a nap.

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.
