The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for the Flagler Pier area over the next couple of weeks.
I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off. We’ve got a long, quiet run with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first real surf recommendation doesn’t pop up until... well, honestly, it never really shows in a meaningful way. From now through to the end of the forecast, every session is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a big gap with nothing to get excited about.
The water temp right now is sitting at 83°F, which is about 1°F warmer than the long-term average for this time of year – nothing unusual, just a touch warm, but nothing to write home about.
Flagler Pier (Florida) is a beach and pier setup, mostly exposed to swell, and the optimum swell direction is from the NE. But we’re not seeing that. The swell stays tiny, mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with periods ranging from a weak 5 seconds up to 14 seconds. The combined energy of all swells is mostly in the teens to low 80s – that’s weak wave energy (17 to 82). There’s a brief moment around September 2nd morning where the energy hits 116, but the swell is still only 2 ft from the east with a long period of 11 seconds – still labelled poor.
The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, with a few mornings where it’s light and clean – like Thursday August 27th morning with a light S wind, or Saturday September 6th morning with glassy conditions. But with such tiny surf, it’s just not enough to make it worthwhile. The wind does go light and cross-off at times, but the swell is just too small to do anything with.
If you’re a beginner, this is flat. If you’re an expert, this is still flat. The only thing that might work here is a kite or a foil board, because the wind does pick up – especially on August 27th afternoon with 15 mph from the SE, or September 3rd afternoon with 12 mph from the ESE. But for a surfboard? Forget it.
There’s a little spike in energy on September 9th afternoon with 1 ft from the ENE at 12 seconds, and the combined energy hits 150 – still weak, but it’s the highest we see. But the wind is onshore from the NE at 9 mph, and the break is still rated poor. So no go.
Bottom line: no standouts, no days to circle. This is a rare stretch where the area truly goes quiet. The consistency is generally fair, but when the swell is this small and the wind is wrong, it’s just not happening. It won’t stay like this forever, and forecasts can change, but for now, store the boards and check back later.
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.
