The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at the Flagler Pier stretch for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's a pretty bleak run for the foreseeable future. The first real shot at anything worthwhile doesn't show up until Saturday the 25th of July, and even then it's a long way off.
The whole start of the period is a ghost town. From now through Friday the 24th, we're looking at a solid week of nothing but tiny, weak waves. The combined energy barely cracks double digits, mostly sitting between 10 and 34, which is just flat-out weak. You'll see some glassy mornings, like Wednesday the 22nd, with a light south wind making it look tempting, but with swell heights of just 1.0ft to 2ft and periods of 4 to 8 seconds, there's nothing to push you around. It's a lake.
Now, there is one flicker of life. On Saturday morning, July 25th, we finally get some surfable waves. The swell picks up to 2ft from the east with a period of 10 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to 56. It's still weak, but it's the first time the surf report says "surfable waves." The wind is light from the SSW, making for clean conditions. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is about normal for the time of year, so no need for a wetsuit.
That Saturday afternoon, the energy jumps to 104, which is at least moderate, with a 3ft east swell at 9 seconds, but a cross-shore wind from the southeast at 12 mph chops it up. The morning is your best bet.
Beyond that, it's back to the same old story. Tiny swells, weak energy, and a lot of clean but completely flat-looking conditions. The last week of July and into August 1st, we're stuck on 1.0ft waves with combined energy barely above 20. It's a tough stretch.
So, my call? There's really only one standout, and it's a long-range hopeful. Head to Flagler Pier on Saturday morning, July 25th. It's a clean, light-wind session with a 2ft east swell. It's not going to be epic, but it's the only game in town. The pier is a fairly consistent spot, so you might find a little peak. Don't expect crowds to be a problem with waves this small.
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.
