The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breakin’ it down for you in feet and miles per hour.
Let’s be real—Flagler Pier is in a flat spell that’s gonna last a while. From right now all the way through the end of August and into early September, there’s barely anything worth paddlin’ for. The combined swell energy is mostly weak, in the teens and twenties (like 15 to 53), and the wind is either cross or cross-onshore. The wave report keeps sayin’ the same thing: poor surf conditions. Not a good look.
Here’s the day-by-day:
Tuesday 25th starts with a tiny 1ft east swell, 11-second period, but the morning wind is light cross-off. Still, 1ft is 1ft. Afternoon brings t-storm risk and a cross breeze from the ESE.
Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th are more of the same—maybe 0.5ft to 1ft, some clean mornings, but the swell has no power. Energy’s in the 21 to 41 range.
Friday 28th morning turns glassy—3 mph wind, dead calm. That 1ft east swell with a 9-second period would look clean, but the energy’s only 43. You could paddle out on a foamie, but you won’t be doin’ much.
From Saturday 29th through Monday 7th September, it’s a grind. Swell stays 1ft to 2ft, period drops to 8 seconds or even 5 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross-on from the east or ENE. Energy never tops 74 (weak). No standouts.
There’s a little hope on Thursday 3rd September morning: a 1ft east swell, 11-second period, with a light 3 mph offshore wind from the southwest—clean conditions. The report calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary.” That’s the best we get. Energy is 59.
Then Friday 4th and Saturday 5th September mornings show a bit more—2ft east swell, 10-11 second period, clean morning winds (W or SW, cross-off). Energy bumps up to 114 on the 5th, finally moderate. But we’re still talkin’ knee to waist-high at best, and that’s the highlight of the whole 16 days.
Flagler Pier (Flagler-Pier) is a beach/pier setup, exposed to the east. Water temp is 84°F—normal for this time of year, no big anomaly.
The closest thing to a standout is Saturday 5th September morning with that 2ft swell and 114 energy, but it’s still small. Thursday 3rd morning is cleaner but even smaller. Both are for beginners or longboards—nothing over 5ft, so no worries for anyone. Crowds are likely, especially on weekends, but with waves this small, it might be quiet.
Bottom line: A whole lot of nothin’ for nearly two weeks. If you’re itchin’, aim for the clean mornings September 3rd or 5th. Otherwise, leave the board in the car. Forecasts can change, but this stretch looks grim.
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.
