The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's chew through the 16-day forecast for Flagler Pier. The short story is, it's looking real flat. We've got a big ol' gap of nothing at the start, and the whole period doesn't give us much to work with.
Monday the 3rd of August is a total washout. The swell is tiny, about 2 ft from the ESE, with a short 8-second period. The wind's offshore from the SW, which sounds good, but the wave energy is super weak at 33. There's just nothing there. Tuesday the 4th is the same story – a little 2 ft wave from the east with a 6-second period. The energy stays low, in the 20s and 40s. This pattern of small, weak, and messy surf holds through Wednesday, Thursday, and into Friday.
The first time the numbers look slightly better is late Friday the 7th. The swell picks up to 4 ft out of the east, but it's still short-period at 7 seconds. The wind is a messy cross-onshore from the east. The wave energy gets up to 113, which is moderate, but the conditions are described as poor. Saturday the 8th is similar with 3 ft swell and energy at 126, but that onshore wind keeps everything choppy. Then on Sunday the 9th of August, things clean up a bit. The swell drops back to 3 ft from the ESE, and the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the SSE. The energy is up at 147, and it’s the first time we get a "surfable" note. It’s clean, but it’s not a special day.
After that, it’s back to the desert. From Monday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 18th, it’s a long, flat run. Swell heights hang around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, periods are short, and the energy drops back into the single or low double digits. We get a few glassy mornings, like on Wednesday the 12th and Saturday the 15th, but with 1 ft and 1.0 ft of swell, there’s nothing to ride. The entire second week is a dead zone.
So what does this mean? The only session that's even worth considering is Sunday the 9th, and even that is just marginal. Flagler Pier is usually a pretty consistent break, so this kind of flat spell is rough. Forecasts can shift, but for now, I'd say leave the board at home.

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.
Flagler Pier is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Ormond Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ormond Beach. Ormond Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
