The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty talkin'. Let's be straight with you, the outlook for Flagler Pier over this 16-day stretch is pretty grim. We're lookin' at a long, flat spell, so don't get your hopes up for much of anything.
Right out the gate, there is no surf to speak of. We're talkin' day after day of tiny, weak waves that just aren't worth paddling out for. The first real flicker of life doesn't show up until Tuesday afternoon, the 18th, and even then it's a struggle. That afternoon we see a bit of a pulse, with a 2ft swell from the ESE at 11 seconds. That jump in energy is a hint something's happening, but it's still called "poor surf conditions." Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
We limp through the rest of that week and the next with the same story: small swell, poor quality. The water temp is bang on average for this time of year, sitting at 84°, so at least it'll be a warm wait.
Finally, we get a slight glimmer on Saturday morning, the 29th. For a few hours, we've got 3ft of ESE swell with a period around 9 seconds, and more importantly, the wind goes totally glassy. That calm wind is a rare positive note. The wave energy climbs, which is at least in the moderate range. If I absolutely had to pick a moment to wet a line, that’s it. It's not going to be epic, but those clean, tiny conditions are the only chance at something rideable. The wind stays light and offshore on Sunday the 30th morning too, but the swell is already fading.
Honestly, for a beachbreak like Flagler Pier, this is a real dry spell. A solid two weeks of barely anything to report. Keep your board in the car and your eyes on the horizon, 'cause this run of flatness has got to break sometime.

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.
