Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flagler Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright, listen up. It’s a tough stretch ahead for Flagler Pier. Looking at the charts, we’re in a flat spell for the next couple of weeks. There’s no real swell on the horizon worth getting excited about. The waves that do show are small, weak, and messy for the most part. A few mornings will look clean when the wind drops, but the wave height is tiny. The first real chance of anything surfable comes on the morning of July 23rd, and even then, it’s a long shot.
For the mornings of July 8th and 9th, you’ll see clean conditions with light offshore winds from the SW and WSW, but the swell is a measly 1 foot from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak. It’s basically a lake out there. Don’t bother paddling out unless you just want to sit on your board.
Thursday afternoon (July 9th) the wind goes onshore from the SE at 18 mph, chopping up that tiny 2-foot swell. It’s a no-go. Friday and Saturday (July 10th-11th) follow the same pattern: tiny ESE swell mixing with cross-shore winds. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 84°, about average for this time of year.
We have a long gap here. From July 12th all the way through to the morning of July 23rd, the surf is consistently poor. The swell barely moves above 2 feet and the period is short (mostly 8 seconds). There are mornings with clean, glassy conditions or light offshore winds, like on July 14th, 17th, 18th, and 19th, but the swell energy is rock bottom. It’s just not enough to push a decent wave. These are strictly beginner-level conditions at best.
The only hint of something better is on the morning of July 23rd. We see a little spike in swell height to 3 feet from the SE, but the period drops right off to a weak 5 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, which isn’t going to produce much shape. The winds are light from the SSE, so it’ll be clean-looking, but it’s still just “ordinary conditions.” The energy is still low. For a break like Flagler Pier, an exposed beach/pier setup, that small short-period swell isn’t going to give you much. The afternoon looks messy again with cross-shore wind.
So, if I had to pick a standout, and I’m really scraping the barrel here, it’s that Thursday morning, July 23rd. It’s the only period where the swell height breaks 2 feet. But don’t get your hopes up. The optimum swell direction for this spot is NE, and this is coming from the SE. It’s a poor match. The water is still warm.
For the rest of the outlook, through to July 23rd, it’s a long blank run. That’s just how this area is sometimes – small, inconsistent summer conditions. Nothing to get emotional about, just a waiting game. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a case of leaving the board in the car.

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.
