The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks is pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf and the conditions are just not cooperating. There’s nothing here that’s worth getting excited about.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surfing. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Monday, July 28th, and even then, it’s a poor prospect. The pattern is small, inconsistent, and plagued by onshore or cross-shore breezes most days. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting in the low two-digit range for most of the period, barely scraping into the low hundreds even on the final day.
Let’s talk about that one day that looks slightly less terrible. On Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, the swell picks up a touch to 3 ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy finally hits 223, which is getting into moderate territory. But here’s the kicker: the wind is cross-shore from the southeast at 16 mph, chopping it all up. That’s not a clean day for a beach break; it’s more of a kite-surfing breeze than anything for a prone paddle.
The rest of the forecast is a blur of 0.7 ft to 2 ft waves from the east-southeast, with periods all under 9 seconds. That’s short-period, weak windswell at best. You’ll see a few moments of glassy conditions in the early mornings, like on Friday, July 17th, and Monday, July 20th, but with wave heights barely pushing 1.0 ft, you’re better off swimming. The water temperature is a warm 83°F, which is about average for this time of year here, but that’s hardly a consolation.
So, to wrap it up – there are no standouts. No hidden gems. It’s a full 16-day blank run for Flagler Pier. This is a tough stretch, but it’s normal for the area when the summer winds set in. Don’t hold your breath; the forecasts can always change, but right now, leave the board at home.
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.
