Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flagler Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this outlook for Flagler Pier is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry stretch of tiny, weak surf over the next 16 days, and there’s just nothing in the mix that’s worth paddling out for.
The water temp is sitting at about 85°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But the problem is the swell. For the entire forecast period, the wave heights are stuck between 1.0ft and 3ft, with periods mostly in the 4 to 9-second range. That’s short-period, local wind chop, not any real groundswell. The combined energy is weak, mostly bouncing around in the teens to sixties – that’s the telltale sign of a flat spell. There is one spike on the 20th of July (Monday) afternoon where it hits 107 (moderate energy), but even then, it’s only 3ft of weak, short-period ESE swell and the wind is a nasty 19 mph cross-shore, making it lumpy and choppy. No good.
The wind does offer some clean windows, especially the mornings. We get glassy conditions on Wednesday the 8th, Thursday the 9th, and Friday the 10th of July, but on those days, the swell is a pathetic 1.0ft to 1ft. You’d be floating around more than surfing. The afternoons are almost all blown out by strong cross or cross-off winds from the SE or SSE.
You’ll see a few mornings with offshore or light winds (like Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th), but again, it’s ankle-high stuff at best. The only time the swell tries to inch up is on Wednesday the 15th of July afternoon, hitting 3ft from the SE, but the period drops to a shocking 4 seconds – that’s pure wind slop, no push or shape.
Basically, from now all the way through to the 22nd of July, we’ve got a flat spell with no standout days. For an exposed beach and pier setup like this, the options are zilch. Honestly, between the tiny waves and the strong side winds, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on many of those afternoons.
Hang in there. It tends not to stay this poor for long in Florida, and forecasts can change.
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.
