The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Gotta be straight with you – for the next 16 days out at Flagler Pier, the surf forecast is looking pretty bleak. We’re talking a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with barely enough energy to push you around. The first week and a half is a total write-off for any kind of proper session, so don't bother paddling out unless you just want a float.
Right now through the end of next week, the swell is struggling to get above 1ft. Most mornings you’ll see glassy or light wind conditions, which would be a dream if there was any swell, but with the combined wave energy sitting in the teens (14 to 25), it’s just not delivering. The water temp is sitting at a warm 83°, right around average for this time of year, so at least you’ll be comfortable while you wait.
There’s a slight glimmer around Tuesday, August 18th and Wednesday, August 19th – we finally see a pulse of longer period groundswell, hitting 13 seconds on the Tuesday morning and 10 seconds on Wednesday. The swell height barely nudges up to 2ft, and the combined energy climbs to 60 and 54 respectively. That’s still weak, but it’s the most interesting window. Tuesday morning looks glassy and the wave direction shifts to a better E swell, which matches the optimum direction for the pier. It’s surfable, but it’s going to be very ordinary. This is the pick of a bad bunch, but don’t expect much.
From there, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the month into the first few days of September shows nothing but 0.7ft to 2ft dribble, mostly short-period ESE windswell. The winds are often cross or cross-onshore in the afternoons, chopping up whatever tiny bump there is. Thursday, August 27th and Friday, August 28th offer a little 2ft swell again, but it’s still weak.
Honestly, this is a blank run for Flagler Pier. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most afternoons when the seabreeze kicks in. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave your board in the car.
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.
