The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Flagler Pier has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a rough run for the pier. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. We’ve got a long, dry spell of poor conditions right from the start.
The first real chance to even consider a paddle comes on Tuesday morning, August 11th. It’s tiny, only 1ft of swell from the ESE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 20. But – and it’s a big but – the wind is glassy, absolute dead calm. For a brief moment, it’ll be clean as a whistle, but with almost no push. It’s more of a float and chat session than a surf.
After that, we’re back to a long stretch of nothing. The wind is messy, cross-shore or cross-on, and the swell stays tiny. There’s a couple of clean mornings with a light offshore wind on the 13th, 14th, 16th, and 17th of August, but the swell is barely 1ft. It’s like trying to ride a ripple in a bathtub.
Finally, we get a bit of a pulse. The best of the whole period, and I use that term loosely, falls on the morning of Tuesday, August 18th. The swell bumps up to a knee-high 2ft from the NE. The period is still short at 6 seconds, but the wind is a gentle offshore from the SW. The wave energy is still weak at 57, but it’s the cleanest, most surfable wave we’ve seen. The comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and that’s the truth. It’s the standout, but only because the rest is so bad. For a beginner, that 2ft is fine, but the lack of power means it’ll be a bit of a push.
The following morning, Wednesday, August 19th, and the morning of Thursday, August 20th, offer similar glassy or clean conditions, but the swell is still tiny. There’s a bit more energy on the 21st, but the wind swings cross-shore and ruins it.
Honestly, for most of this outlook, the setup at Flagler Pier looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The water temp is running about 3°F colder than average for this time of year, sitting at 82°F, which is a bit noticeable but not a shocker.
If you’re desperate, keep an eye on that Tuesday the 18th for a few clean, weak waves. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.

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.
