The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle, with a real dry spell through the first week and a half. We’re not seeing any proper standouts, just a few moments where it might be worth a paddle if you’re desperate. The first real sign of anything surfable comes on the 18th of August, and even then it’s ordinary.
The pattern starts off flat and uninspiring. From the 8th right through to the 17th, it’s all poor surf conditions with tiny, weak waves. The combined energy is barely registering – we’re talking numbers like 130 (weak) on the 8th, dropping to single digits and low double digits for days after that. Small east swell, mostly around 1.0 ft to 2 ft, with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds. Not enough to get excited about. The wind is all over the shop – cross, cross-off, a few glassy mornings – but with no swell to work with, it doesn’t matter.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, from the 18th of August, things start to lift just a little. The 18th morning and afternoon both offer "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – a score of 1 out of 10 tells you all you need to know. We’re looking at a tiny 1 ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 9 to 10 seconds. The combined energy is still low, sitting at 54 and 52 (weak). The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are just too small to really surf properly.
The 19th of August morning sees a bit more promise. A longer period groundswell from the E at 13 seconds, pushing 2 ft, with combined energy bumping up to 129 (weak). The wind is glassy – NNE at 3 mph. That’s clean, but it’s still tiny. A long period swell like that on a beach/pier break can be a bit tough; it might break too straight, but if you’re on a longboard, you might get a few little runners.
The 20th of August morning is another glassy one, ENE wind at 3 mph, with a 2 ft E swell at 11 seconds. Energy is 88 (weak) – still a low-energy, small-wave day. It’s clean, but don’t expect anything with punch.
The 22nd of August morning has a similar story: 2 ft from the E, 12-second period, combined energy of 105 (weak). The wind is light cross-off from the W at 3 mph, so the surface will be clean. But again, it’s ordinary.
The 23rd of August morning is the last chance in the window – glassy with a 2 ft E swell, 12-second period, 102 energy (weak). Clean, small, and very ordinary.
So what’s the best on offer? I’d highlight the 19th of August morning for the glassy conditions and the longest period (13 seconds) – that’s the most interesting, but it’s still a longboard day at best. The 22nd and 23rd mornings are also clean, but the swell is just too small. Honestly, there’s no real standout here. It’s a flat spell for Flagler Pier. The break is fairly consistent, so it won’t stay this way forever – forecasts can change.
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.
