The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking flat. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so don't be in a rush to paddle out just yet.
For the next week and a half, from August 22nd right through to about the morning of September 1st, it’s a ghost town out there. We’re talking tiny, weak swell with almost no energy running for most of that time. The waves are just not happening.
Let’s look at what we’ve got at Flagler Pier. Now, the water temp is around average for the time of year, so that’s not the problem. The problem is the complete lack of swell and nasty wind.
The only faint heartbeat in this whole forecast shows up on September 1st, Tuesday morning. Overnight, a pulse of long-period groundswell from the East rolls in, with a period of 15 seconds. It's a small increase to just over 1 foot, but the combined energy finally climbs to a moderate level. It's still only just about surfable. The glassy wind early that morning is a major positive, giving it a clean surface. But this is a tiny, weak wave for paddling around on, not for riding.
From that point on, it’s right back to the doldrums. The swell drops off again, and we’re looking at more tiny, weak surf with cross or cross-onshore wind through the first week of September.
Look, it’s a blank run. This area can go quiet, and this is one of those times. We’ll have to wait and see if the forecasts change, but for now, leave the boards in the car and do something else, folks.

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.
