The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. I’ve looked over the next couple of weeks for Flagler Pier, and I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s pretty flat out there. There is no surf on offer at all in this 16-day window. Not a single decent wave. It’s a tough stretch, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it.
The ocean is basically asleep. The biggest bump we see is around the 7th and 8th of August, where the swell pushes to about 4ft, but it’s coming from the east with a short, weak 7-second period. It’s just not going to have any push or shape to it. And with the wind mostly cross or cross-onshore from the east and southeast, it’s going to be lumpy and messy. This isn't a surf forecast; it's a report on a pond with a bit of chop.
Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if the breeze fills in. The wave energy is weak, with the combined energy only reaching the low to mid-100s at best (103 to 153) around the 6th to the 8th. That’s just not enough to get the heart pumping.
We do have some glassy moments, like the morning of the 16th and 17th, but the swell is down to a pathetic 1 to 1ft. It’s clean, sure, but there’s nothing to ride. The water temp is a normal 83°, so it’s warm, but you’ll be floating around, not surfing.
There is a gap of about two and a half weeks here with nothing worth paddling out for. The breaks are fairly consistent around here, so this kind of blank run is a bit of a bummer, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so we keep our hopes up, but for now, leave the board in the car.

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.
