The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a bit of a flat spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf from Thursday the 20th of August all the way through to the end of the month. The swell is hanging around 0.7ft to 1.0ft, mostly from the east, and the energy is just not there – we’re talking combined energy readings in the teens and twenties, which is barely a ripple. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
There are a few mornings where the wind goes light offshore or even glassy, like Friday the 23rd morning, Sunday the 24th morning, and Wednesday the 26th morning. The surf will be clean, but honestly, there’s nothing to ride. It’s a flat spell plain and simple.
Things start to look a little more interesting around the 27th of August. Thursday afternoon sees a bit of a bump, with the swell lifting to 2ft from the SE, and the combined energy jumps to 107 (moderate). Still, the wind is a cross-shore, so it’s a bit messy. Friday the 28th afternoon has a similar story with 3ft from the SE, energy at 148, but again a cross-shore breeze.
The real standout, and the only one I’d genuinely get excited about, is the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. It’s still a long way out, so keep that in mind, but it’s the first time we see a “surfable waves” call. The swell is 2ft from the east with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is 94. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it should be clean. It’s not big, but after all that flatness, it’ll feel like a god-send. The morning of Friday the 4th of September is similar, with 3ft from the NE, energy at 109, and light cross-off winds. For Flagler Pier, that’s your best bet in the whole window.
Overall, it’s a long wait for a little bit of fun. The first 10 days are a write-off for surfing, but that first week of September might just offer a couple of clean, small sessions.
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.
