The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is – this 16-day stretch at Flagler Pier is a bust. The water temp is about 83°F, right where it should be for July, so no drama there.
Starting Thursday, 23 July, we’re looking at a flat spell that just won’t quit. The surf is tiny, with swell heights around 2ft to 2ft from the east, a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak – only 35 that first morning. Winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, making it messy. It’s poor surf conditions day after day.
This lull runs for days. Saturday morning, 25 July, there’s a clean moment with a light offshore breeze from the SSE, but the swell is only 2ft and the energy is just 44 – not enough to push a real wave. Another clean window shows up Monday, 27 July, and Tuesday, 28 July, with offshore winds, but the swell drops to 1.0ft or 1ft. It’s a grind.
The best option, if you’re desperate, comes Saturday, 1 August. We’ve got a 1.0ft to 1ft swell from the ESE, period stretching to 9 seconds, and the combined energy finally hits 31 in the afternoon. The wind is offshore in the morning, then cross-off – clean, but the waves are barely there. Safe for beginners, but there’s no power.
It stays flat and weak through to the end. On Friday, 7 August, the swell direction shifts to the east-southeast, the height bumps to 3ft, and the combined energy hits 132 – moderate energy at last. But the period is short at 7 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy. Still poor surf conditions. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
No standout here. The whole 16 days is a dud. Keep the board handy, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
