The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on offer for Flagler Pier.
First up, water temps are sitting at about 83°, which is pretty normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
To be honest, this is a pretty quiet run. We're looking at a whole lot of days with small, weak waves and tricky winds. The first real sniff of anything decent doesn't come around until Sunday the 9th of August. That morning, we've got a light offshore wind from the West, and the swell is coming from the ESE at 4ft. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it's not going to have much punch, but the combined energy is moderate (243). The winds will have it clean, and it's the best looking window in the whole forecast. Don't get too excited, though; it's a one-hit wonder and the afternoon goes sour with a strong cross-shore.
Before that, from today through to Saturday the 8th of August, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and when it does try to push up a little on the 8th, the wind is onshore and messy. The 8th of August afternoon has a 5ft swell from the east, but with a strong onshore wind, it's going to be a washing machine. Not for beginners, and honestly, looks more like a kite session than a paddle session.
After that Sunday morning window, from the 10th of August onwards, we're back to small, weak surf. The swell drops right out, with heights hovering around 1ft to 2ft and combined energy barely cracking 20 to 50. The winds are a mix of cross and light offshore, so it'll be clean but completely flat. There's a long gap of poor conditions from the 10th right through to the end of the forecast on the 17th of August.
So, the one standout is Sunday morning, the 9th of August. It's the only time the stars align for a little bit of clean, rideable surf, even if it's small and short-period. It's a short window, but it's all we've got.
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.
