The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Flagler Pier has cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough run. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy surf. The whole first week and then some is basically a write-off. From Tuesday, September 1st right through to the middle of the month, the wave energy is almost non-existent, with the combined energy barely cracking 100 (60-128) most days, and dropping down to just 6 to 21 on the 5th, 6th, and 7th. That’s not surf, that’s a lake ripple. The wind is constantly onshore or cross-shore, chopping up what little bump there is, and the swell is tiny—0.7 ft to 3 ft—with short, weak periods. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the conditions line up wrong.
There is a tiny glimmer, but you have to wait for it. The only day that even gets a mention is Wednesday, September 16th. The morning shows a little spike of hope. We’ve got a 2 ft swell rolling in from the NE with a short period of 6 seconds, but the wind is a light WNW cross-offshore, which will clean things up. The combined energy is still weak at 52, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 82°, but that’s just a little seasonal reminder.
The afternoon of the 16th gets messy again with a strong NNE wind, so the window is narrow. The swell is too small and weak for any real power, and the short period won’t give you much shape, but if you’re desperate for a paddle and a few knee-high crumbly ones, the morning of the 16th is your only shot. Flagler Pier (Flagler-Pier) is a beach/pier setup, so don’t expect any magic. It’s an intermediate spot, and with the crowds listed as “often”, you might have some company even for small waves.
Overall, this is a tough outlook. The first 15 days are a washout. The 16th morning is the only real chance, but it’s a gamble. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because a run this flat can’t last forever.
Later, 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.
