The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Flagler Pier. We’ve got a solid two-week block with pretty much nothing doing. The first eleven days, from August 11th through the 21st, are just a write-off for any decent wave. You’re looking at tiny, weak bumps, day after day. The swell energy is barely in the double digits for most of it—we’re talking values like 20 and 11 (weak energy), with winds that are mostly on it or chopping things up. There’s nothing to get excited about.
Then, things start to look slightly more hopeful by Wednesday morning, August 19th. You’ll finally see a little pulse of long-period groundswell – 2 ft from the E, with a period of 12 seconds. That’s good for shape, but it’s small. The combined energy is still weak at 97. The real treat here is the wind: it’s glassy, calm as can be. That morning window is the single standout in the whole 16 days. It’s not going to be big, but it’ll be clean and you might snag a fun little corner. The water temp is running about average for this time of year.
The rest of the extended forecast stays pretty grim. Even when we get a small spike in swell on the 19th afternoon, the wind turns cross-onshore and the quality drops right back out. After that, it’s a return to tiny, weak surf and afternoon seabreezes ruining the clean morning glass. The 20th through the 26th is just a grind of knee-high slop and choppy conditions. Honestly, if you’re not a patient soul, this setup is going to test you. But with how consistent Flagler Pier can be, this kind of flat run doesn’t last forever. Keep an eye on the charts.
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.
