The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
We’re in for a tough stretch at Flagler Pier. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak, with a long gap of poor conditions before anything even remotely surfable shows up. The swell energy is weak to moderate at best, with a lot of days barely cracking 20-30 (combined energy). There’s no real standout ripper, just a few windows where you might get a fun, clean little wave if you’re desperate.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Tuesday, September 1st. We’ll see a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, period around 7 seconds. The wind will be light and cross-offshore from the SSE, making for clean conditions. It’s not big, but it’s rideable. The combined energy is only 76, so expect weak, crumbly waves. That’s the best we’ve got—a very ordinary but clean session.
The next morning, Wednesday, September 2nd, offers a similar deal. The swell is still 2ft from the E, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, giving it a bit more push. The wind goes glassy from the S, so the surface will be perfect. The combined energy is 142, which is moderate. This is honestly the pick of the period. If you want a wave, make it this morning. It’s small, but clean and with a little more energy.
After that, we’re back to the doldrums. The rest of the forecast through the 5th of September is just poor surf, dirty wind, and tiny waves.
So, to be straight with you, there’s no epic swell coming. The standout is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd, with that small but clean E swell and glassy wind. The morning of Tuesday, September 1st, is a secondary option if you can’t wait. Everything else is a miss.
Hang in there, and maybe bring a longboard.

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.
