The Lowdown
Well, let me tell you, it’s been a tough stretch to be a surfer around here. Honestly, looking at the full 16-day window, the news isn’t good. There are no solid surf options at all during this period. Every single day is tagged with "poor surf conditions." The swell is tiny, barely ticking over, and the wave energy is weak, never getting above the mid-80s. We’re talking about combined energy readings mostly in the teens, twenties, and thirties (16 to 88). That’s basically flat to micro-mush.
The first glimmer of anything near surfable doesn’t even appear for over a week. It’s a long stretch of very little to nothing.
The only break in the picture is Flagler Pier, a beach/pier setup that’s fairly consistent, but that’s not helping us now. The swell direction is coming from the east and east-southeast, which is actually in line with its optimum direction from the northeast, but the size is just pathetic. We’re looking at swells of 0.7 ft to 2 ft. Periods are short, mostly 8 to 9 seconds, only occasionally reaching 12 or 13 seconds, but with no height to back it up.
There are moments of glassy or offshores conditions which would make it look pretty, but with no waves to ride, it’s just a pretty lake. The water temp’s around 85° on the first day, which is about normal for this time of year, but you won’t need your wetsuit because you won’t be paddling.
For the first week, from August 21st through to maybe the 28th, it’s really just a flat spell. There’s a small uptick on the 27th afternoon with swell hitting 2 ft and energy climbing to 73, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. It’s just not worth paddling out for. The same pattern holds into the second week, from late August into early September. The 29th and 30th have some glassy mornings with 1 ft to 2 ft, but still no power. By September 4th and 5th, we’re back to 1.0 ft onshore slop.
There’s just no standout day. No day where the stars align. It’s one of those runs where the forecasts feel like a tease. Given the consistent nature of this area, it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, it’s a blank run.

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.
