The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be real with you. The next couple of weeks look pretty flat and uninviting for most of us. We've got a long stretch of small, weak surf and less-than-ideal winds. It's going to test your patience, that's for sure.
The first few days, from Saturday the 8th through to Monday the 10th, are basically a write-off. We're looking at ankle-biters with onshore and cross-shore breezes kicking up a bit of chop. Saturday morning has a tiny 3ft easterly bump, but that short 8-second period and cross-shore wind will make it a mess. The wave energy is weak, around 129, and it's just not going to be worth the paddle out. You're better off doing something else.
The flatness really sets in from Tuesday the 11th through to Friday the 14th. Wave heights drop to 0.7ft-1ft. There are some clean, glassy mornings, especially Thursday and Friday, but there's just no swell to push through. It's flat, plain and simple. This is a long stretch of nothing.
Over the weekend of the 15th and 16th, we finally see a little pulse of energy, but it's still small. Sunday the 16th afternoon might be the first time it's even worth a look. The swell pushes up to 2ft with an 8-second period from the ESE, and the wind goes light. Energy is still unimpressive, around 53, but at least it's clean. We're talking about the smallest of small waves though.
The following week, from Monday the 17th onward, there's a slight uptick in consistency, but it's nothing to write home about. Mornings look clean with some offshore winds, but the swell is still small at 2ft-3ft. Wednesday the 19th might be the most interesting day of the whole stretch. We see the biggest swell of the period, hitting 3ft from the NE on the morning, with light winds, and the energy jumps to a moderate 102. The afternoon sees a longer period swell (13 seconds) with a bit more energy (209), but the wind goes cross-shore.
The last few days, from the 20th to the 23rd, continue the same theme. Small, weak swells from the east and northeast, with clean mornings but often a sea breeze kicking up in the afternoons. There's nothing here that would make me rush out of the house. The Flagler Pier area is just too exposed and fickle for these tiny pulses.
So, the long and short of it is: hold onto your boards, because the pickings are slimmer than a diet menu. The only half-decent chance might be that Wednesday morning the 19th if you're desperate for a few crumbly, clean little waves. But don't get your hopes up. This is a stretch where patience is your best friend.
Stay salty,
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.
