The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you about Flagler Pier. We’re staring down a really long dry spell, so let’s not sugarcoat it.
The whole 16-day window starts off flat and stays flat for over a week. From Sunday the 16th right through to Thursday the 27th of August, there’s just nothing to get excited about. Swell heights are stuck between 0.7 ft and 2 ft, with short-period junk that’s barely cracking. The winds are all over the place – cross, cross-off, and a few clean-looking mornings – but there’s simply no energy in the water to make it worth paddling out. The combined swell energy stays well under 100 (weak) for all of that stretch. We get a couple of glassy or offshore moments (Sunday morning the 23rd is dead flat but glassy, for instance), but it’s flat. No wave, no ride.
Then, around Thursday the 27th of August, we see a tiny pulse of moderate energy creep in – readings of 136 and 141 (moderate) – but that swell is arriving with onshore and cross-onshore winds, making a mess of the 2 ft swell. It’s not surfable with any quality.
Finally, on the morning of Friday the 28th of August, we get a little glimmer. The wind swings light cross-off from the WNW at just 3 mph, the swell holds at 2 ft from the east, and we get a “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” comment. Combined energy is still weak at 85. That might be the closest we get to a rideable wave in the whole forecast, but it’s ordinary. The rest of that day and Saturday get chopped up by onshore winds, and Sunday the 30th brings strong onshore NE winds at 19 mph with risk of t-storms – ugly.
Water temp is sitting around 85°F with a +0.9°F anomaly, so pretty average for the time of year – nothing unusual there.
Overall, there are no true standouts. If you’re desperate, that Friday morning (28th August) at Flagler Pier might give you a few small, cleanish knee-high waves, but don’t expect much. This is a long stretch of poor to flat conditions. For an exposed beach/pier setup like Flagler, these blank runs happen. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing on the table for paddle surfing. Honestly, with the swell as weak as it is and the wind staying messy, it’s not even looking good for the kite crowd.
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.
