Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flagler Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about your local surf. I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead. We’ve got a solid 16-day window here, but the first week and a half is a write-off for any real surf. You’re looking at a gap of almost two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. The first glimmer of anything with a pulse doesn’t show up until late in the run.
That said, if you can wait, there’s finally something on the horizon. The only real standout I can point you toward is Flagler Pier itself. It’s a beach and pier setup, exposed to the swell, and it likes waves from the NE, but we’re not getting that magic combo here.
Through the first 14 days, it’s just tiny, weak dribble. The swell is constantly under 2 ft with short, gutless 7 to 8-second periods. The wave energy stays in the low double digits – we’re talking readings like 25 and 36 – that’s weak stuff. The wind does offer some nice clean windows, like Saturday morning the 11th when it’s glassy, or a few mornings with clean offshore breezes, but there’s nothing to surf.
By Saturday, July 25th, things try to nudge up a bit. The morning shows a 2 ft ESE swell with a period of 5 seconds – that’s junky, short-period windswell, but the wind is light and clean. The energy reading is still weak at 27. The afternoon of the 25th is your best look: we get a 2 ft swell from the E at 7 seconds, with the combined energy finally hitting 54. It’s still small and short-period, but the wind is cross-off and the conditions are clean. It’s not going to blow you away, but it’s the most we’ve got.
Into Sunday, July 26th, we see a 2 ft E swell in the morning (energy 39), and by the afternoon it bumps up to 3 ft from the ESE with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 115 – that’s the first time we break into moderate energy. It’s a little juicy for the tiny boards, but it’s also cross-onshore wind, which chops it up.
The bottom line: nothing for beginners to worry about – it never gets over 5 ft. For the rest of us, it’s a long, quiet stretch. If you absolutely need a paddle, the 25th and 26th are your only window, but keep expectations real low. It's a spot that can fire, but this forecast is a flat spell.
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.
