The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Flagler Pier has cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, dry spell to start. For the first week, from Wednesday the 12th right through to Tuesday the 18th, it’s basically a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 1ft, with weak energy. The wind is a mixed bag of cross and onshore, and the reports are all screaming "poor surf conditions." You’d be better off waxing your board and staring at it.
Things *finally* show a little life on Wednesday morning, August 19th. It’s still small, with a 2ft easterly swell, but we get a glassy window with light southerly airs. The energy is still weak, but the clean conditions make it rideable. Don't expect much, but it’s a start.
We get a few more clean, glassy mornings here and there, like the 21st and 22nd, but the swell’s just not there to back it up. The real standout, if you can call it that, looks like Sunday morning, August 23rd. We finally get a little bump in size to 2ft from the east, with a light offshore SSW wind (6 mph) keeping it clean. The energy is still only moderate, and the period is a short 9 seconds, so it’ll be a bit fat and weak, but it's likely the best we'll see. Water temp is about 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
After that, it’s back into the mediocrity. The last week of the forecast is more of the same: small, weak swells, and a mix of glassy mornings ruined by onshore afternoon breezes and thunderstorms. For a spot like Flagler Pier, which is fairly consistent, this is a real bummer of a run. The setup is so weak and choppy on most days that it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially from the afternoon of the 25th with a 19 mph cross-shore.
So, bottom line: if you’re desperate, the morning of August 23rd is your best bet. Otherwise, give it a miss and hope the forecasts change.

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.
