The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this 16-day window for Flagler Pier is a tough one. There’s no real surf to speak of for the whole stretch. The first few days are small and messy, and it just doesn’t get its act together. We’re looking at a long dry spell.
Tuesday, September 1st kicks things off with a tiny 2ft swell from the east, but the wind is onshore, making it a complete write-off. The combined energy is weak (46). Wednesday through Friday, the swell stays in the 2ft to 3ft range, but the wind is all over the place – cross-shore and cross-onshore – keeping things choppy and poor. The energy bumps up a bit on Wednesday afternoon (130) and Thursday (106), but the quality is just not there.
The weekend is even smaller. Saturday, September 5th morning is glassy with a 1ft easterly swell and a combined energy of only 21, but it’s just too small to bother with. The rest of the weekend and into the next week, the swell barely registers, mostly under 2ft. The wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, adding to the frustration.
Monday, September 7th sees a jump in wind speed to 15-18 mph from the north-northeast, but it’s onshore and the swell is still tiny (1ft). The following days, Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th, the swell tries to push up to 4ft, but the period is a dismal 6 seconds and the wind is onshore. That’s just a choppy, blown-out mess. The energy is moderate (99 and 92), but it’s useless for a clean surf.
The second week is more of the same: tiny swell, poor wind, and a combined energy that rarely breaks 100. Saturday, September 12th afternoon shows a 3ft swell from the east-southeast with a period of 8 seconds and energy of 132, but the cross-onshore wind will ruin it.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. This is a flat spell for Flagler Pier. It’s the kind of run where the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the onshore winds and lack of any real power. Don’t get your hopes up, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
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.
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.
