The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from Flagler Pier.
Right now, we're staring down a pretty flat spell here. The first clear window of surfable waves doesn't show up until Thursday, September 10th, and even then, it's gonna be a small, weak affair. Before that, we got nothin' but tiny wind chop and onshore junk. We're talkin' about a solid three-day gap from now with zilch for a paddle.
The water temp here is around 81.7°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year.
Alright, let's be real. We're on the east coast of Florida, and the whole 16-day window is a grind. There's no standout session here. The first we get is Thursday morning, September 10th, with a tiny 2.3ft swell out of the ENE. The wind will be off from the SSE, keepin' it clean, which is a bonus. But the combined swell energy is only 65, so it's weak. You'll be on a longboard or a foamie fightin' for scraps.
After that, it's mostly back to tiny, inconsistent knee-high slop. We get a few brief, glassy moments – Monday morning, September 14th, for example, with 1.6ft out of the east and zero wind. That'll be clean as a whistle, but there's no push behind it. The energy on that swell is only 39, so you're basically bobbin' around.
The second week, from roughly September 15th onward, doesn't get any better. We stay locked in a pattern of small, short-period swell, mostly under 1.6ft. Winds are often onshore or cross-onshore out of the east and northeast, with gusts over 12 mph, just choppin' it up. For a beach break like Flagler Pier, with these tiny, weak swells and onshore wind, honestly, the kite surfers might have more fun than us paddle guys.
Look, it's a tough run. The forecasts show nothin' but "poor surf conditions," so don't get your hopes up. But the Atlantic can change quick. It tends not to stay this flat for too long, so keep an eye on it. For now, the wax is stayin' 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.
