The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Same story, but in feet and miles per hour for you.
First ten days or so, it’s a drought. Swell is tiny and weak, with combined energy barely cracking 70 (72) for most of it, and the wind is mostly junk. You’ll get a couple glassy mornings around the 13th and 14th, but the waves are just ankle-high at 1ft to 2ft from the E or ESE with a short period. Not worth wettin’ your suit. That lull runs from Thursday the 10th through to about Saturday the 19th. A little more energy shows by the 21st with the swell hitting 3ft to 4ft from the NE, but the wind is cross-onshore and messy, so still not great.
The standout is the 24th of September. That Thursday morning we’ve got a solid 7ft NE swell with a period of 8 seconds, and combined energy at a heavy 613. Wind is howlin’ offshore from the SSW at 28 mph, which will groom that swell into clean, lined-up waves. This is serious groundswell energy, and even though the period is short for a groundswell, that offshore wind will hold it open. The wave comment says it’s marginal, but for experienced surfers, this is the one. Water temp is about average for the season. The afternoon holds similar size at 7ft, with energy up to 818, and offshore wind still strong at 25 mph. Expect crowds at Flagler Pier if it’s firing—it gets busy when it’s good.
Then Friday the 25th, we’ve got another morning of 7ft NE swell, 9-second period, energy at 699, and a fresh offshore breeze from the SW at 19 mph. A little cleaner with lighter wind, and combined energy is still well into three-digit territory, so plenty of punch. That’s another solid session for the experienced crew, but the 24th is the real peak. After that, it goes quiet again, but forecasts can change.
So, if you’re a confident surfer, lock in the 24th and maybe the 25th. The NE direction is perfect for Flagler Pier. Those long-range looks are promising but not locked in.
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.
