The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at Flagler Pier for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The opening days are a real struggle, with hardly any energy to get excited about. We’re looking at a long, dry gap of about a week and a half before we finally see a pulse of something worth paddling for.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Tuesday, July 30th. That afternoon, things finally get interesting. We’ll see a small but clean 2ft swell sneaking in from the ESE. The wind is set to go glassy, with a light NW breeze at 3 mph, making for perfect, smooth conditions. The water temp is about 83°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The combined energy is still weak though, at 60, so it’s not going to be a power session, but it’ll be a surfable wave. The best call here is Flagler Pier itself, working that small ESE swell. It’s a beach/pier setup, fairly consistent, but expect crowds to be likely – it’s a popular spot, and when it’s clean, everyone will be on it.
A couple of days later, on Sunday, August 2nd, we get a slight bump in energy. The morning shows a 2ft swell from the ESE with a clean cross-off wind from the W at 6 mph. The combined energy finally ticks up to a moderate 101, which is the most we’ve seen all forecast. That’s the standout moment. The wave quality is still just “ordinary,” but it’s the best on offer. That Sunday morning window is your best bet for a few half-decent runners.
After that, it’s back to a pretty flat and ordinary pattern. The wind goes offshore for a few days, but the swell drops back to puny 1ft-2ft, and the energy is back in the weak range. Don’t get your hopes up for the second week – it’s mostly small, clean, and gutless.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The one standout is the glassy, clean 2ft window on Tuesday, July 30th afternoon, and the slightly bigger 2ft with moderate energy on Sunday, August 2nd morning. After that, it’s small and clean, but nothing to call home about. Get out there if you’re desperate for a slide, but the ocean is not giving us much.
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.
