The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and bleak for Flagler Pier. We’ve got a run of small, weak, and choppy surf that’s barely worth getting wet for. From Saturday the 8th right through to the middle of next week, the energy is just not there. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, and the period is short, so it’s mushy and disorganized. The wind is all over the place, with a lot of cross-shore breeze putting chop on top of an already weak wave. The water is running about 81.7°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a slightly thicker suit.
The combined energy during this stretch is mostly in the weak range, with values often under 100. For example, Monday morning has just 29, and Tuesday afternoon is a paltry 18. It’s just not doing anything.
There is a real gap here. From the 8th through the 17th, there are essentially no good waves on offer. A few mornings have some glassy conditions, but there’s nothing to ride. It’s a stretch of waiting and watching.
Now, as we push into the second week, there’s a flicker of hope. Around Tuesday the 18th, we start to see the energy building a little, but it’s still pretty poor. The first real sign of life shows up on Thursday the 20th. We get a bit of a pulse with a 3.3ft easterly swell at 12 seconds in the morning, and the energy jumps to 268. The wind is light offshore from the SSW, so it’s looking clean. The afternoon holds up too, with 3.6ft at 11 seconds and glassy conditions, energy at 302. This is the standout of the whole window.
That Thursday is the one to keep an eye on. Flagler Pier (Florida) is exposed to that east swell, and those longer period waves will have some push to them. It’s still not huge, but it’s the best on offer, and those clean, offshore conditions will make it feel better than the size suggests. It’s a day for a decent longboard or a funboard, honestly. This is the one real standout.
After that, it seems to fade back down into the ordinary range. Friday and Saturday are back to smaller, less inspiring surf.
So, for the next 16 days, we have a long, flat start, and one shining day on Thursday the 20th. It’s a long-range call, so it’s promising but not set in stone. Keep your eyes on the forecast, but don’t hold your breath for much before that.

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.
