The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get real about Flagler Pier.
Look, the next two weeks are a tough stretch for this stretch of sand. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead. Honestly, the first real chance to even think about getting wet doesn’t show up until Tuesday, September 8th, but even then, it’s nothing to write home about. The whole period is plagued by onshore and cross-shore winds, with very little swell energy to work with. Most days we're looking at tiny, weak surf with poor conditions.
The best you’re going to see in this whole window is the morning of Tuesday, September 8th. We’ve got a little 2ft wave from the ENE with a short 6-second period. The combined energy is weak at 55 (moderate wave energy). But the wind is light from the SSE, which is cross-offshore, keeping it clean. It’s “surfable but very ordinary” – a real “make the most of it” kind of session. If you’re desperate, that’s your window.
Other than that, Thursday morning, September 10th, offers a tiny bit of hope with glassy conditions, but the swell is only 1ft from the ENE. It’s clean, but there’s almost no push. For beginners, this is too small. For everyone else, it’s a longboard or a day off.
The rest of the forecast is a sad story of poor surf conditions, mostly onshore or cross-shore breezes, and minimal swell. There are several days with no surf to speak of – the 6th and 7th are almost dead flat, and from the 11th onward, we’re stuck in a rut of tiny, messy waves.
The water temperature at Flagler Pier is 81°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year (by about 3°). So the water is still warm, just not as warm as usual.
Stick to the morning of September 8th for the best chance, or wait for the forecasts to change. It’s a quiet time.

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.
