The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Flagler Pier.
To be straight with you, the next sixteen days are looking pretty flat. There's a real dry spell on the cards. The first glimmer of any rideable energy doesn't show up until Thursday, August 6th, so we're looking at a gap of about five days with nothing to get excited about before that. After that, it's a lot of small, weak stuff.
The main event, if you can call it that, is a small pulse of swell on Thursday morning, the 6th. We're looking at waves around 3ft from the ESE. The energy is moderate at best (102), and the period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit weak and crumbly. The morning winds are cross-shore and light, so it'll be okay for a paddle, but don't expect any barrels. The rest of that day and the following days stay small, mostly under 2ft, with a lot of cross and cross-onshore winds making things choppy.
Honestly, the standout window is that Thursday morning, the 6th of August. It's the only time the combined energy pushes into three digits. It's not great surf, but it's the best of a poor bunch. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so you won't need a wetsuit.
The rest of the fortnight is a write-off for paddling. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the winds are messy. For a solid stretch from the 8th through the 16th, it's just ankle to knee-high slop with cross-shore breezes. If you're desperate for a slide, you'll be on a longboard, but honestly, with that kind of weak, short-period swell and strong side-shore winds, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The conditions just aren't there for us.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
