The Lowdown
Grab your coffee, sit down. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a bit of a quiet one for Flagler Pier. We’ve got waves, but they’re pretty small and weak, nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. We’re looking at a real flat spell here, with a few tiny bumps in the mix, but nothing that feels like a proper surf session.
Let’s start right now. Thursday morning the 13th of August, there’s a tiny 1 ft swell from the ESE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is just 14 – that’s barely a ripple. It’s glassy though, with a risk of a thunderstorm hanging around. That afternoon, it drops to 0.7 ft, and the wind goes cross-shore at 6 mph. Friday the 14th is even smaller in the morning, 0.7 ft, with a total calm – glassy as a mirror. You could paddle out but you’d mostly be sitting there. The afternoon picks up a bit of side-shore breeze at 16 mph, but the swell is still poor.
Saturday the 15th starts with a glassy 0.7 ft and a light 3 mph breeze, but by afternoon it’s a 2 ft with a cross-shore chop at 12 mph. Sunday the 16th is similar, 1 ft in the morning with glassy conditions, then a cross-shore breeze messes it up later. Monday and Tuesday follow the same pattern: tiny swells, mostly poor surf conditions, and cross-shore winds.
Nothing really changes until Wednesday the 19th of August, where we see a little lift to 2 ft from the E with a 10-second period, energy up to 84. That’s still weak, but it's the best we've seen. The breeze is light cross-shore, so it’s not clean. Thursday the 20th has a 3 ft swell in the afternoon, but the period is a shocking 4 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-shore. That’s not surfable, it’s just wind chop.
Friday the 21st of August morning is worth a mention – small 2 ft from the SE, but the wind is a light cross-offshore at 3 mph, giving us clean conditions. It’s the best looking window in the whole 16 days, but the swell is tiny. Still, if you’re desperate, that’s your moment. Later that afternoon the wind picks up and ruins it.
We get a few glassy mornings here and there – like Saturday the 22nd morning with 1 ft and no wind, but the energy is only 42. Tuesday the 25th morning is also glassy with 1 ft. None of it is exciting. Towards the end, Thursday the 27th of August morning we get a clean 2 ft with a light cross-offshore breeze, and Friday the 28th morning is clean again with 1 ft from the ESE. But honestly, none of these swells crack 3 ft.
There’s a long gap here with no real standouts. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. If you’re a beginner, even these small, clean days could be fun, but don’t expect any power. For anyone else, this is a perfect time to check your gear, wax your board, and wait for the next system. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a quiet stretch.

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.
