The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again, breaking it down for you in feet and degrees Fahrenheit.
It’s looking bleak, folks. We’ve got a long dry stretch coming up with next to nothing worth getting wet for until we get to the start of September. From now through the end of August, it’s tiny 0.7ft to 2ft slop, short-period junk mostly under 10 seconds, and cross-shore winds messing up any chance of a clean face. The combined swell energy is weak – between 16 and 50 – so don’t even bother with the forecast.
Water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is pretty much average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
Come Tuesday September 1st, wave energy bumps into the moderate range (109) and we see a longer-period swell at 16 seconds out of the east. Problem is it’s still only about 1ft, and the wind is on or cross-onshore. Not your day.
Wednesday September 2nd morning is the real standout. Conditions go glassy with zero wind, a clean little 2ft east swell with a 13-second period, energy at 117. It’s small, but for a longboard that early glass session could be magic. Crowds are possible – it’s Flagler Pier – but midweek on a tiny morning you might have some room.
Thursday September 3rd morning is the biggest bump of the window. Light offshore wind from the WSW, a 2ft east swell with 12-second period, energy jumps to 165. This is the best quality swell of the whole 16 days. Friday September 4th morning is similar with a 3ft east swell (280 energy) but cross-off wind from the west, still clean. Both are small – nothing that’s gonna get your heart pounding, but for a little longboard or a soft top, it’ll scratch the itch.
After that it drops off again. By Monday September 7th morning we get glassy conditions with 3ft from the NE, but the energy is fading, and it goes back to junk thereafter.
So the call: Wednesday September 2nd morning is your best bet for smooth, clean peeling waves. Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th mornings offer a little more size but with a bit more texture. Everything else is a hard pass.
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.
