The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and settle in. Let’s have a proper look at what Flagler Pier has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’re talking tiny, weak leftovers from the 23rd of August all the way through to the 30th. The swell is barely cracking 1ft to 2ft, and the energy is just pathetic – mostly in the 20s and 30s (combined energy). It’s that kind of flat, background dribble that makes you wonder why you bothered checking the forecast. We’ve got a few glassy mornings in there, like Tuesday the 25th morning and Saturday the 29th morning, but it’s still just knee-high mush. Not worth paddling out for unless you’re teaching the dog to surf.

We do get a little bump in energy towards the end of August. On Monday the 31st, there’s a weirdly long-period spike hitting 19 seconds on the morning, with energy climbing to 63. That’s a proper groundswell pulse, but it’s arriving with only 0.5ft to 1ft of height. That combination means it’s going to be super inconsistent and fat – sets might show up every ten minutes, but they’ll be gutless. The afternoon even pushes energy over 100 (102 to be exact), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. For a beach/pier setup like Flagler, that long period stuff just doesn’t wrap in well.

Now, the real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 1st of September. The morning session scores a glassy 2ft swell from the east with a period of 15 seconds – classic groundswell. The combined energy sits at 91, so it’s got some push behind it. It’s still only small, but the conditions are clean as a whistle. This is the standout window of the whole outlook. Light southeast breeze, glassy water, and a touch of energy. That’s the one to aim for. Water temp is a toasty 84°F, right on normal for this time of year, so you’re in boardies and a rashie.

We get a few more mornings worth a look after that. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd both have clean, 2ft to 3ft east swell in the mornings, with energy climbing to 169 by Thursday morning. The wind is light and favorable. But by afternoon, it’s all cross-shore junk again. The consistency here is “fairly consistent,” which is about as good as it gets for this spot. Crowds can be “often” an issue, so get out there early, especially for that Tuesday the 1st sunrise session.

Later in the week, Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th still offer glassy or clean mornings, but the swell dips back down to 2ft to 2ft. Still rideable for a log or a fish, but nothing to write home about. The last real mention is Sunday the 6th with a clean 2ft morning.

Overall, if you’re in Flagler Beach, pencil in Tuesday the 1st of September morning as the real pick. It’s not pumping, but it’s the most surfable wave in a mostly flat run. The rest of the window is a lot of waiting and watching.

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.
