The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let's talk Flagler Pier. I've been staring at the charts, and the story here is pretty straightforward: a whole lot of waiting is what’s on the menu. We’ve got a real dry spell to kick things off.
Looking at the next week, from Thursday morning right the way through to Saturday the 21st of September, it’s mostly a bust. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2.3ft, and direction is all over the place from the east and southeast. The energy is weak, just a pittance. On Sunday the 15th, we get a pulse of windswell, 4.9ft from the ENE, but look at that period—only 7 seconds. That’s short, crumbly, and it’s coming in with a solid onshore wind. The energy reading says moderate, but with the onshore wind, it’s a messy, gutless affair. Not something you’d paddle out for.
Now, there is a glimmer, but it’s a long way off. Tuesday the 22nd of September is the one date that has my attention. We’ve got a building swell, 4.6ft in the morning ramping to 4.9ft in the afternoon, all coming from the NE. The combined energy hits a solid 257-385, which is moderate to strong energy, meaning there’s some real push behind it. The swell direction at NE matches the optimum for the break, and more importantly, the wind is forecast to be a cross-offshore breeze from the S and SSE. That’s clean, groomed surf. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it’s still a bit of a windswell, not the most perfect shape you’ll ever see, but a head-high wave with clean wind is a head-high wave with clean wind.
Water temps are sitting around 82.4°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.
The catch is, this is the only real highlight in a long, flat stretch, and it's over a week away. Don't bank your whole weekend on it, but keep an eye on the forecast as it gets closer. For the rest of the window, it’s a lot of nothing. Honestly, a couple of those days with the wind onshore and a bit of lump, it looks more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddlers.
Stay patient, gang.

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.
