The Lowdown
Alright, let’s put it in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way. Rusty here.
Flagler Pier is in for a rough stretch. From Sunday the 13th all the way through to the morning of Monday the 21st, there’s just no surf to speak of. Small east swells around 1 to 2 ft, mostly with onshore or side winds, and a lot of chop. Water temp’s sitting about normal for the season at 83°, nothing wild.
Then on Tuesday the 22nd morning, things finally look up. We’ve got a clean ENE swell pushing 4 ft, period around 8 seconds, with a light WSW wind giving us a nice cross-off. Combined energy is moderate at 207, and the call is "expect good surf conditions." That’s your best bet—clean, rideable, good for intermediates. But by Tuesday afternoon the wind flips onshore again, and from there it stays messy.
Later on, Saturday the 26th afternoon brings a bigger east swell around 6 ft, period still 8 seconds, but the wind is onshore NE at 20 mph. The energy jumps up to 665, but it’s gonna be choppy and blown out—better for kites than paddles unless you’re desperate.
Bottom line: if you can sneak out Tuesday morning the 22nd, you might score. Otherwise, this forecast is mostly a waiting game.
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.
