The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat and quiet, with no real standout surf in the window. The water is sitting at 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so the ocean feels like a warm bath – no surprises there.
The only break on the radar is Flagler Pier (Flagler-Pier), and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. Most of the period is tiny, with swell heights rarely breaking 1.0 ft to 1 ft, and energy readings are weak, mostly in the teens to low 20s (combined energy of all swells directed here: 17 to 37). There’s a brief uptick in late August and early September, where the swell bumps up to 3 ft to 4 ft, and the energy climbs into the low 100s (103 to 143), but it’s coming from a short period (6 to 7 seconds) and direction is mostly ENE to NE, which is not the optimum for this spot; the pier prefers NE. Those days are also plagued by onshore and cross-on winds, turning the ocean into a messy, choppy affair.
The best of a pretty average lot might be the morning of Friday, August 28th. Swell is a mere 1.0 ft, but it’s from the E with a 12-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the SW, making it clean. However, the wave comment reads “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s far from firing. Similarly, the morning of Saturday, August 29th offers a glassy, 2 ft E swell, but again, it’s just ordinary. There’s a long gap with no real recommendations until late August when the swell tries to pick up, but it’s never good enough to get excited about.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the early mornings with offshore winds (like August 22, 25, 26, 27, and 28) might offer a clean surface, but the waves themselves are tiny. The ocean is more of a float than a surf. The bigger pulse in late August and early September looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, especially with the onshore winds and short-period, messy swell.
For now, keep your board waxed and your eyes on the horizon. This stretch is a tough one for Flagler Pier.

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.
