Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – we’ve got a pretty flat run on our hands. The next two weeks are looking real quiet. There’s a lot of days where the swell is just tiny, like 1 ft to 2 ft, and the quality is poor, so we’re looking at a big gap with nothing really worth paddling out for. It’s not until we get into the third week of July that things start to show a little bit of life, but even then, it’s not exactly going to fire.
For a brief moment on Thursday morning, July 16th, we get a glassy morning with the wind swinging out of the west at just 3 mph. The water temp is bang-on normal for this time of year at 84°, and we’ve got a tiny 1 ft swell from the NE with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (35), so it’s not doing much. Honestly, it’s a flat, clean morning, but the swell’s just too small to make anything of it.
Then on Friday morning, July 17th, we get another glassy start with the wind from the north at 3 mph, but again it’s a measly 1 ft from the ESE at 7 seconds. Hopeless for a proper wave.
Come Monday, July 20th, the afternoon shows a slight bump with 2 ft from the ESE at 8 seconds, and combined energy ticks up to 72. The wind is cross-off from the SSE at 16 mph. Still, it’s small and the report calls it poor surf conditions, so I wouldn’t get too excited. Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons on July 21st and 22nd are similar: 2 ft swell, ESE direction, 8-second period, cross-off winds, and energy readings of 76 and 82, but it’s still just not coming together. The best chance across the whole 16-day window is probably Wednesday afternoon, July 22nd, with that 2 ft ESE swell, cross-off wind, and the highest combined energy we see at 82. But for a beach break like Flagler Pier, that’s just a little knee-high slop.
Bottom line: It’s a long, quiet stretch. If you’re desperate for a splash on a longboard on a glassy morning, you might find something, but for any real surf, this window is a dud. Hang tight – it won’t stay this way forever.
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.
