The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ in the Flagler Beach area for the next couple weeks. I’m gonna level with ya—this stretch looks pretty flat-lined for the most part. We’re sittin’ on a long run of tiny, weak surf with wind that’s mostly not playin’ nice. There’s a glimmer of somethin’ better out in the second week, but it ain’t anythin’ to get hyped about just yet.

Right now, and for the next several days, don’t even bother waxin’ up. Startin’ Friday mornin’ the 28th of August through the end of the month and into early September, we’re lookin’ at knee-high dribble at best. Swell heights are stuck around 1ft to 2ft, mostly out of the east with short periods around 5 to 9 seconds—so weak and gutless. Winds are cross, cross-on, or onshore most of the time, choppin’ things up. The combined swell energy is real low, barely crackin’ 40 or 50 (that’s a 35 to 46 range). Water temp’s around 82°F which is pretty average for this time of year, maybe just a hair cooler than normal, but nothin’ wild.

There’s a bit of a bump in the water come Wednesday mornin’, September 2nd, with swell heights nudgin’ up to 2ft and a period of 11 seconds from the east. That longer period gives it a bit more push, and the combined energy jumps to 116, which is considered moderate. Still, the wind’s cross-on and the waves are gonna be choppy and ordinary. Not worth paddlin’ out unless you’re desperate.

After that, we slide back into tiny surf again. Honestly, the rest of the first week and into the second week is mostly poor surf conditions, with swell energy droppin’ back to the 20s and 30s.

Now, around September 8th and 9th, we start to see a little pulse of life. On Tuesday mornin’, September 8th, Flagler Pier sees a pulse of 1ft swell from the ENE with a 12-second period—long period groundswell—and the combined energy hits 76. Winds are light and cross-offshore, meanin’ clean conditions. It’s still small, but it’s surfable. Wednesday mornin’ the 9th is similar: 2ft from the NE, 11-second period, light cross-off wind, clean, with energy at 90. That’s the best we’ve got in the whole outlook. It ain’t big, but it’ll be a fun little longboard or log day for intermediates. The swell direction (NE) is a fair match for Flagler Pier’s optimum direction (NE), so it’ll wrap in nice.

After that, it fades again back to tiny stuff with offshore winds, but the swell’s just too small to get excited about.

Overall, I’d say if you’re lookin’ for the standout window, it’s those mornin’s on September 8th and 9th. Clean, small, but at least it ain’t a total mess. Everything else is a skunk, so save your energy for that mid-week window.

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.
