The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down for Flagler Pier over the next couple weeks. Thing is, it’s pretty bleak for a while.
We start off with a long dry spell. The first 8 or 9 days are basically tiny, gutless surf. Waves are mostly 1 to 2 feet, with combined swell energy barely hitting 41 on that Monday afternoon, and most of the time it’s in the teens or twenties – meaning weak and shin-high. The wind is usually cross or onshore, so it’s bumpy and messy. I wouldn’t even bother suiting up.
Around August 18th, Tuesday morning, we see a change. A long-period groundswell of 15 seconds sneaks in from the east, pushing that energy up to 70 (moderate). The swell height is only 1 foot, but the wind goes offshore from the WSW, making for clean conditions. It’s surfable, but still very small. By the afternoon, the energy hits 138 (moderate) with a 1-foot swell, but the wind flips cross-onshore, and it’s messy again.
The one and only standout in this whole outlook is August 19th, Wednesday. We get a solid 2-foot east swell with a 12-second period. The combined swell energy is a respectable 138-141 (moderate). Both the morning and afternoon sessions have clean conditions thanks to cross-offshore winds. It’s still not pumping, but for this stretch, it’s the best we’ve got.
After that, it fades back to nothing. By the 20th, the energy drops to 58, and the rest of the way through the 25th is just small, onshore windswell with no power.
Best call: Wednesday morning, August 19th at Flagler Pier. You’ll find clean 2 to 3-foot waves from the east, with a 12-second period giving them decent shape. The wind will be light and cross-offshore from the west, so the surface should be glassy. Water temperature is about 83°, which is a hair cooler than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy.
Honestly, this is a stretch where the surf is weak for everyone. If you’re a kite surfer, those afternoon cross-shore breezes with a tiny bump might be more fun. For us surfers, it’s a waiting game. The 19th is your shot. After that, we 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.
