The Lowdown
Alright, let's see what Flagler Pier has to offer.
Rusty here. It's gonna be a long stretch of flat and funky conditions before we see anything worthwhile. The first real chance to surf will be on Tuesday the 22nd of September, but before that, don't even bother.
From now until that Tuesday, it's a big ol' blank. We've got days of cross-shore and onshore winds, ankle-biters, and consistent "poor surf conditions" reports. The ocean is just a mess. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions and light wind, like Sunday the 13th, but that's with a tiny 0.5m easterly swell and only 41 combined energy. Not worth the wax. Choppy afternoons with South-Easterlies will keep the surface choppy.
Then things start to change. The morning of Tuesday the 22nd of September shows some real promise. We’ve got light, cross-offshore winds, and the water is looking clean. The swell hits 1.2m from the NE with a 9-second period, and combined energy is a solid 238. That's moderate push, enough to get a few fun ones.
Wednesday the 23rd of September is the one to circle. A gentle offshore breeze from the SW in the morning turns to a clean cross-offshore in the afternoon. Swell is 2 to 1.7m from the ENE, period at 9 seconds, and the energy is pumping between 378 and 419. That’s solid, clean surf. The light winds will keep the face smooth and make for some really good, rideable waves. After all that waiting, this is the window to get after it.
After Wednesday, it starts to get sloppy. Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th see the swell hold (1.6m to 1.9m) and the energy even peaks at 864 on Friday morning, but the wind turns cross-onshore and the wave comment drops to "marginal." The quality gets chopped up. That big energy is still there, but the wind will ruin it. Might be more of a kiter's day. The period is still a solid 9 seconds, so the shape could be decent, but the wind is a problem.
The last few days of the forecast are just more onshore wind and dropping swell. Nothing worth chasing.
Keep your eyes on Wednesday the 23rd. That's the day.

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.
