Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: for this stretch of coast at Flagler Pier, the next sixteen days are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a long, flat run ahead. The first solid recommendation doesn’t show up for over a week, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
The overall pattern is one of small, weak energy. We’re looking at tiny swells coming from the ESE and SE for the most part, rarely cracking even 3 feet. The combined swell energy is consistently low, often in the 20s and 30s (weak). There’s a brief pulse of energy on the afternoon of Wednesday the 8th of July where it creeps up to 110 (moderate), but that’s about it for the whole run. Water temp is sitting at about 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
So, let’s call out the one or two moments that might offer a paddle. The most promising window is the morning of Thursday the 9th of July. We’ve got a light offshore breeze from the SSW at 6 mph keeping things clean, and a small 2-foot swell from the ESE at 9 seconds. It’s tiny, but the conditions are glassy enough that you might snag a few crumbly ones if you’re keen. The combined energy is still low at 68 (weak). It’s not a standout, but it’s the closest we get to a decent session.
After that, Friday the 10th of July morning is similar – 2 feet, ESE, 8 seconds, with very light winds. The quality is still on the poor side, but it’s clean. Don’t expect any power or shape.
The rest of the two weeks is a washout. Most days see choppy, cross-onshore winds and ankle-snappers under a foot and a half. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations here at all. For the second week, from mid-July onward, it’s all tiny dribble with onshore winds – forget about it.
Truth is, when it’s this small and weak for this long, it doesn’t take much to feel frustrated. But this area goes flat like this sometimes. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, I’d leave the 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.
