The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight: for Flagler Pier, the next two and a half weeks are a tough watch. There’s no surf to get excited about. Every single session in the 16-day window is marked with poor surf conditions, so this is one of those flat spells the area can get. We’ve got a blank run that stretches from Tuesday the 1st right through to Wednesday the 16th of September. If you feel like paddling out for a swim, the water temp on Tuesday the 1st is around 82°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – so a touch cooler than you might be used to, but nothing wild.
We start Tuesday the 1st with clean skies but a stiff onshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph, putting a chop on an already tiny 2ft easterly swell. The combined energy is pitiful at just 46, so it’s a no-go. Wednesday the 2nd tries nothing new – a touch more cross-shore wind from the ESE, swell bumping up to a meagre 2ft by the afternoon with energy hitting 104, but it’s barely surfable and still rated poor. Thursday the 3rd gets a bit more breeze with SE winds up to 16 mph and a 3ft swell, but the period drops to a dribbly 5 seconds, so it’s messy and weak. Friday the 4th through to the end of the window stays flat, with swells mostly hanging around 1ft to 1ft, and the rare clean or glassy moments – like Sunday the 6th morning with a light WSW offshore, or Tuesday the 8th morning with glass – offer zero waves to ride. Even when a 2ft swell pops up on Wednesday the 16th, it’s short-period junk from the ESE with onshore northerly winds.
Honestly, this is a silent ocean. For kites, maybe, but for paddle surfing? Put the board away. The only standout is a flat, quiet week, and that’s it. Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this poor for long around here.

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.
