The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let’s be real: the surf forecast for Flagler Pier over the next two weeks is a total flat spell. There’s nothing on the cards, so leave the board in the car.
The entire 16-day outlook is a write-off. From now through August 20th, every session shows poor surf conditions. That’s a solid two-week gap with zero worthwhile waves. The swell is tiny, ranging from 1 ft to just over 3 ft, and it’s mostly short-period stuff, 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak and disorganized. The wind is a constant problem too, blowing from the east or southeast, which puts a cross to cross-onshore chop on everything at Flagler Pier.
Every single report says "poor surf conditions." Even the glassy mornings on the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 16th with tiny 1 ft swell won’t offer a ride. The wave energy is feeble, with combined energy readings mostly in the double digits, only touching triple digits a few times, and even then it hits a maximum of 132—just moderate energy ruined by the onshore wind.
If you’re into kitesurfing, those afternoons with 3 ft and a solid 12-15 mph cross-onshore wind on the 8th and 18th might be worth a look. But for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.
This kind of long flat spell is pretty normal for the area when the swell goes quiet. It’s a bummer, but things can turn around fast. For now, hang tight.
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.
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.
