The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Flagler Pier.
To be honest, we’re looking at a tough run ahead. Over the next two and a bit weeks, there’s really not a single standout session worth marking on the calendar. The surf is just weak and messy for the most part. From Monday the 31st of August right through to about the 8th of September, we’re stuck in a pattern of small, short-period windswell, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, coming out of the east and southeast. The combined swell energy is low, mostly in the double digits and nothing builds into anything meaningful.
Winds are a real issue too, mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore, with moderate breezes kicking up chop. The best we see is a couple of glassy moments—like early Saturday the 5th of September and early Sunday the 13th of September—but even then, the swell is tiny. We’re talking 1ft with barely any energy. That’s barely enough to get you wet.
There is a small shift in the second week. From Wednesday the 9th of September, we finally get some proper offshore winds, particularly from the west-southwest, hitting 16 mph on the 10th and 11th. That cleans things up nicely, but the swell remains small and weak. The best of it is on Thursday the 10th of September morning, where we get a “surfable but ordinary” call—1ft from the ESE with clean offshore wind (16 mph). That’s the closest we come to a session, but it’s still only a 1 out of 10 scenario. The energy is low.
After that, it’s more of the same right through to the middle of September. Clean conditions on the 12th and 13th with light offshore or glassy wind, but the swell never gets above 1ft. Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy mornings on the 5th, 13th, or 15th might give you a few knee-high bumps, but don’t expect much.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, no real anomaly worth talking about.
Flagler Pier (Florida) is a beach and pier setup, fairly consistent but not delivering here. Crowds are often around when it’s good, but right now, I’d say you’ll have the place to yourself. No standouts. No big swell. Just patience needed, or maybe go for a longboard paddle on one of those glassy mornings.
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.
