The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Flagler Pier.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a bleak stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run with almost nothing to get excited about. The surf is tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is all over the place. There’s a bit of a gap before we even see anything worth paddling out for, and even then, it’s a struggle.
The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 21st has a 3 ft swell from the SE, but with a period of only 6 seconds and a cross-off wind, it’s weak and messy. The combined energy is a feeble 118 (weak), and it’s just poor. Wednesday and Thursday are even smaller, with swells dropping to 2 ft and 2 ft. The wind is a mix of cross and cross-on, and the periods are still short (4 to 8 seconds). Nothing to bother with.
We roll into the weekend – Friday the 24th through Sunday the 26th – and it’s still flat. Swells are 2 ft to 2 ft, periods are 8 seconds, but the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, bringing chop. The combined energy on Friday afternoon is 81 (weak), and it’s just not worth the drive.
The following week doesn’t get much better. From Monday the 27th through to the end of the month, we’re looking at 1.0 ft to 1 ft swells, mostly from the E or ESE. The wind does turn offshore on the 28th, 29th, and 30th, which makes the surface glassy, but you can’t surf a 1.0 ft wave with a 9-second period. The combined energy values are all in the teens and twenties (very weak). The best you could hope for is a knee-high dribble on a clean morning, but it’s a flat spell.
The first week of August is no different. The 1st and 2nd offer 1 ft to 2 ft swells, with offshore winds, but the period is still 6 to 8 seconds. The energy is still weak (34 to 40). The 3rd and 4th see a slight bump to 2 ft on the 4th afternoon, with a 90 energy reading (weak), but it’s dead onshore from the NE. That’s a chop-fest, and the 2 ft at 8 seconds just isn’t going to be fun.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The entire 16-day window is a bust. The best on offer is the clean, offshore mornings on the 28th, 29th, and 30th, but with the swell so small (1.0 ft to 1 ft), it’s really only for the most dedicated loggers or someone who just wants to sit in the water. The water temperature on the 21st morning was 83°, which is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only positive.
The setup is a beach/pier, and with such poor surf quality, it’s not even interesting for the kite surfers either. It’s just flat.

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.
