The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Flagler Pier and, well, I’ve got to be straight with you—it’s looking like a long, flat spell. There’s a whole lot of nothing on the horizon for the next 16 days.
We’re looking at a stretch of bone-dry conditions starting now. The first record shows Tuesday morning, July 28th, with a tiny 1ft easterly windswell at 8 seconds, but it’s crossed out with "poor surf conditions" and a combined energy of just 14 (weak). That’s the story for the next week and a half. Day after day, we see the same: ankle-slappers or knee-high wobbles, with wind directions swapping around but never really lining up. The best we get are some glassy or clean conditions, but with nothing to ride, it’s a lake out there. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about 2° cooler than normal for this time of year—nothing to write home about.
The first faint glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, August 2nd. The afternoon shows a jump to 5ft from the SE, but with a period of just 5 seconds and a combined energy of 117 (moderate), it’s steep, lumpy windswell. The wind is moderate offshore from the SW, so it could be clean, but that short period will make it a close-out mess at this beach/pier setup. It’s still tagged as "poor surf conditions," so don’t get your hopes up.
Then, a real standout—if you can call it that—shows on Tuesday, August 4th. The morning session has a 2ft wave from the east at 8 seconds, with glassy conditions and a light NW wind. The combined energy is 75 (weak). The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," scoring a 1 out of 10. This is the best on offer in the whole window. The pier might offer a bit of shape, but with that tiny swell, it’s a longboard-only situation. The crowd profile says "often," so expect a few locals out to stretch their legs.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the period through to Wednesday, August 12th, is a mix of 0.3ft to 2ft slop, onshore winds, and risk of thunderstorms. The combined energy rarely breaks 50. The wave comments are all "poor surf conditions" or just flat-out "poor."
Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, you might get a look in on the 2nd of August when that 5ft bump hits with a cross-off wind, but for paddling, it’s a washout. The area is fairly consistent, so this kind of blank run is a bit unusual, but not unheard of. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
