The Lowdown
Alright, partner. Let's chew the fat on Flagler Beach. The outlook is a real bummer. The whole 16-day stretch is tagged with "poor surf conditions," so don't get your hopes up. The first real bump in the road comes on Wednesday, September 2nd, but it's a messy one.
Right now, we're sitting on zero. The combined swell energy is a puny 33 (weak), with a 0.6m, 5-second wind swell. The wind is from the ESE, cross, just making it a choppy, rippled mess. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing special.
Let's get to the first real event. Wednesday, September 2nd morning: the energy jumps to 332 (moderate) with a 0.9m swell from the east, 11-second period. That's a groundswell, which is good for shape, but it's coming right onshore from the NE. That's a blown-out, lumpy situation. The afternoon sees a bigger 1.3m swell from the ENE, but with a terrible 6-second period and onshore wind. It's a no-go. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Thursday, September 3rd morning has a pulse from the ESE at 0.9m, 6-second period, energy at 122 (moderate). Cross-onshore wind again. It's a pattern.
Then we hit a long, flat spell. From Friday, September 4th, all the way through to Saturday, September 12th, the swell is tiny. The combined energy is in the teens or low 20s (weak). The wind is mostly cross-offshore or light, so there are some clean, glassy moments, but there's literally nothing to ride. The mornings of September 11th and 14th are glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3m. It's a full week of waiting.
The last flicker is Sunday, September 13th. The swell bumps up to 0.9m from the east, but with a short 7-second period, energy at 124 (moderate). The wind is cross-onshore again. For a beach break, that's a close-out, shifty mess.
The best on offer? There's no winner here. If you're desperate for power, the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd has the most size and energy, but the onshore wind will ruin it. The most comfortable conditions will be the glassy mornings, but you'll be scratching for a knee-high slop. This is a dry spell, plain and simple. The forecast can change, but as it stands, it's a rest week.

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.
