The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s on offer for Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead. The first week or so is looking like a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a long gap from the start of the forecast until the morning of Friday, July 25th, where the conditions finally become just about surfable, but even then, it’s nothing to get excited about.
We kick off on Saturday, July 18th, with a tiny 2 ft swell from the southeast, but the wind is a messy cross-off at 16 mph, making it look like a total washout. That pattern holds through the next several days – tiny waves, poor surf quality, and a lot of cross-shore wind. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about average for this time of year.
The real standout, if you can even call it that, is the morning of Thursday, July 24th. We’ve got clean, glassy conditions with a light offshore wind from the southwest, and the swell direction shifts to the ESE. The combined energy is still weak at 35 (moderate wave energy), but the morning will be your best chance for a clean, tiny wave. The swell is only 2 ft, so it’s a log or a longboard at best. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s not going to have much punch.
After that, we get a few more days of tiny, onshore slop. The wind swings offshore again on the morning of Sunday, July 27th, but the swell is smaller still. The last glimmer of hope is on the morning of Friday, July 31st, with a 2 ft swell from the NE, clean offshore wind from the SSW, and a gentle breeze. The energy is still weak at 60, but it’s the most consistent-looking option in the second week. It’s a long way out, though, so don’t book the day off work yet.
Bottom line: Flagler Pier is a fairly consistent spot, but the next two weeks are a real bust. The waves are tiny, the wind is mostly wrong, and the quality is poor. It’s a long, quiet stretch. Stay patient.

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.
