The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, checking in from the local lineup. Let’s talk about Flagler Pier.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring for a proper paddle session. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak waves ahead. The first real sniff of anything worthwhile doesn’t show up until Monday the 7th of September, and even then, it’s a mixed bag.
The water is sitting at about 81°, which is a bit colder than we’d expect for this time of year, but nothing too crazy.
For the first week, from now through the end of August and into the first week of September, it’s mostly tiny, choppy, and cross-shore. We’re talking ankle-to-knee high dribblers with minimal energy. The combined swell energy is mostly in the weak range, often under 100 (35-59). There’s a brief moment on Wednesday the 2nd of September morning where the period stretches to 11 seconds and the energy bumps up to 112 (moderate), but it’s still cross-onshore and really poor. Not worth getting excited about.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of September are dead flat with glassy conditions, but the swell is a measly 1 ft from the ESE. It’s a total lake.
Now, the standout is the morning of Monday the 7th of September. The wind goes glassy from the NNE, and the swell picks up to 5 ft from the ENE. The energy hits 175 (moderate). It’s still a short period (7 seconds) windswell, and the shape won’t be pretty, but it’s the biggest we’ve seen. The cross-offshore winds on Thursday the 10th of September morning also offer a clean window with 2 ft from the E and 119 energy, but it’s small. Honestly, the best bet is that Monday morning glass-off, but it’s really only for the die-hards.
We then have another gap of poor surf through the middle of the month. The second week is a write-off, with barely any energy (under 50) and tiny waves. It’s a long, flat spell for Flagler.
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.
