Alright, this is Rusty. Let me tell you, it’s a pretty flat spell we’ve got coming up here at Flagler Pier. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves, so don’t get your hopes up for any hero sessions for a while.
Right from the start, on Saturday July 4th, it’s a total non-starter. We’re talking 1ft of weak, short-period swell from the ESE, with a combined energy of just 44. The wind is light and onshore in the morning, turning into a choppy cross-shore in the afternoon. It’s just poor conditions all around. This same story pretty much plays out day after day. The swell hangs around the 1ft to 2ft mark all week, with periods under 10 seconds and combined energy that barely cracks 40 or 50. Mostly clean in the mornings with light offshore winds, but there’s just nothing to surf on.
Even when we get a little bump in energy on Saturday July 11th, with combined energy hitting 126 on a 3ft SE swell, the period drops to a dismal 4 seconds, and it’s going to be messy with a cross-shore wind and lumpy chop. Not worth paddling out for.
We get one morning that looks glassy – Friday July 10th and Saturday July 11th both have glassy conditions early, but again, the swell is tiny and weak. It’s a frustrating pattern.
The whole 16-day window is a flat-out bust. There isn’t a single standout session. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s the only thing going for it. If you’ve got a kite, the afternoons with a fresh cross-shore and a bit of chop might be more interesting than trying to paddle around on these ankle-biters. But for straight-up surfing? I’d save your energy. Forecasts can always change, but this looks like a long, quiet run for Flagler Pier.
Stay patient,
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.
