The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the local scene. I've looked at the numbers for Flagler Pier, and honestly, it's a tough stretch. We've got a long, long gap of nothing happening before we even see a glimmer of something surfable.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bummer. We're looking at a solid 6 days of flat, poor conditions right off the bat. The swell just isn't there, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-shore, making a mess of what little ripple we get. The combined wave energy is weak, often just a measly 19 to 35 (whatever the unit, it's weak, mate). You're not missing anything.
The first real chance to even get wet comes on Sunday, July 26th. The afternoon shows a tiny blip of life. We've got a 3ft swell rolling in from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 108 (moderate), which is the first time we've seen triple digits. The wind will be a clean cross-off from the WNW at 15 mph. It's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so don't expect anything special. It's a beach/pier setup, so the short period (8 seconds) isn't ideal, but it’s the only game in town. This is a pick for the patient, and crowds are likely at the pier (Flagler Pier) as it's often busy.
Then we go into another dry spell. Tuesday the 27th through Thursday the 30th? All zeros. The wind does turn offshore for a few days, which is nice to see, but the swell is flat. It's just a tease.
The next and only other standout comes on Friday, July 31st. The afternoon looks like the best of the whole outlook. We see a 2ft ESE swell, but the period stretches out to 10 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy comes in at 114 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the SW at 12 mph, giving us clean, lined-up conditions. Again, it's nothing huge, but it's the cleanest, most promising set of conditions in the entire 16 days. The pier should be offering up some clean, rideable waves.
So, the bottom line: The standout is the afternoon of Friday, July 31st at Flagler Pier. The 2ft ESE groundswell with 10-second period and offshore wind will be the best we see. The afternoon of Sunday, July 26th is your only other option, but it's a distant second. For the rest of the time, leave the board in the car. It's gonna be a quiet one.
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.
