The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Flagler Pier. Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We’ve got a 16-day run, but for the first several days, the surf is just too weak to get excited about.
Looking at the whole picture, the real standout – and really the only time things get interesting – is a short window around Wednesday afternoon on the 2nd of September. The wave energy jumps up to a moderate 146 with a 2ft swell from the east. That's a significant spike after days of next to nothing. The swell period stretches out to 12 seconds, which gives the waves a bit more shape and power. The problem is the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, blowing at 16 mph, which will mess with the surface. Still, if you’re desperate for a push, that’s the only pulse of energy that might offer something.
Other than that, the rest of the outlook is a flat, poor run. Most days offer tiny swell around 0.7ft to 1ft with weak energy all under 100. The water’s warm at 84°, which is pretty much average for this time of year. There’s no need to rush out for anything before that early September date.
So, if you want my honest take: keep your board in the car for that Wednesday afternoon on the 2nd of September, but don’t expect a classic. The rest of the time, it’s a lake out there. Hang tight and check back.

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.
