The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty here. Let's be real about Flagler Pier – this forecast is a bummer.
We're staring at a big dead zone. From Wednesday, August 26th all the way through to Friday, September 4th, you can forget it. The swell is pathetic, barely a foot high, and the wind is almost always a nuisance. It's cross-shore or choppy onshore, and the wave energy is nothing to write home about (a measly 22 to 59). Just save your gas.
There's a tiny glimmer on Saturday morning, September 5th. We get a glassy 3ft NE swell, but with a terrible 6-second period. You *could* surf it, but it won't be pretty. The water's about normal temp for the season, and this spot can be crowded, but trust me, it'll be empty for this.
Then Monday, September 7th morning, we see a 3ft E/ENE swell with a better 10-second period. The energy climbs to 127, so there's some actual push. The catch? It's still got a light cross-onshore wind. Tuesday the 8th morning has the highest energy of the whole outlook at 197, with a 3ft ENE swell and 9-second period, but the onshore wind will ruin it.
The single best chance, and I mean the only standout in these 16 days, is Thursday morning, September 10th. The wind goes totally dead calm – it'll be like glass. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the NE, with a super short, weak 5-second period, and energy at just 74. It won't be epic, but on a beach break like this, that glassy surface will give you a few clean little walls. It’s the only time you’ll get anything worth a second look.
In short: the first 10 days are a total loss. The second week has a few bigger swells, but the wind messes them up. Saturday the 5th is for the truly keen, but Thursday the 10th is your best bet for a glassy, small-wave session. Otherwise, find something else to do.
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.

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.
