The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's talk about Flagler Pier. Rusty here.
To be straight up with you, the next two weeks are looking tough. This ain't a time to be planning any surf trips. We've got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions ahead. The swell energy is just pitiful, barely cracking triple digits for most of the period, only touching a weak 117 (combined energy) on the 8th and that's still nothing to write home about.
The water temp is sitting around 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
We start off the first week, from August 1st to the 7th, with tiny waves. We're talking knee-high at best, with swell heights between 0.7ft and 2ft. The period is short, mostly 7 or 8 seconds, so there's no energy behind them. Winds are mostly offshore or light, so the surface could look clean, but there's just nothing to surf. The comment on the 1st says it all – "poor surf conditions". By the 5th, a bit of chop starts to creep in as winds turn cross-onshore, making it even less appealing.
Then from the 8th to the 16th of August, there's a slight nudge in size. We might see the odd wave pushing up to 3ft on the 8th, but the period is still a weak 8 seconds. The energy is still very low, and the winds are mainly cross or cross-off from the SE and ESE, so it's going to be bumpy and crumbly. It's just not going to shape up. The end of the period, around the 16th, has one morning of glassy conditions, but with a swell height of only 1.0ft, it's barely a ripple.
Honestly, there isn't a standout day in this entire 16-day window. For a beach/pier setup like Flagler Pier, with this combination of tiny swell and poor surf quality, it’s a bit of a bleak run. If the wind was strong and the waves a little bigger, you might think about a kite, but for us paddle surfers, this is a dry spell. The forecasts can always change, but for now, keep your board in the car and find something else to do for a couple of weeks.
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.
