The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down for Flagler Pier.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for the next week and a half. We're staring down a long, flat spell with barely a ripple. Most of the time you're looking at tiny surf around 0.7ft to 1ft, with hardly any push. The combined swell energy is mostly in the low double digits, like 16 to 38. That's weak. A few mornings might look clean with light offshore breezes or glassy water, but you just don't have a wave to surf.
Okay, now here’s where it gets interesting. On Thursday, August 27th in the afternoon, we finally get a real pulse. A nice long-period groundswell out of the ESE bumps the size up to a solid 4ft, with a 12-second period and the combined energy jumping to 622 (moderate wave energy). That's the biggest we'll see. And the wind? Moderate offshore from the SW. That's going to make for some clean, well-shaped waves peeling down the beach and pier. That is the one to circle on your calendar. The water is about average for this time of year.
Friday the 28th morning has some leftover 2ft surf with glassy conditions, but the energy is already down to 98. It's okay for a session, but the magic is gone.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. We're looking at onshore winds and messy, choppy surf right through the end of the month and into early September. It's not a recipe for fun.
Bottom line: If you want any kind of decent wave, your only real shot is Thursday afternoon the 27th at Flagler Pier. Be there or be square. The rest is a write-off.

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.
