The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty, and I’m looking at our Flagler Pier stretch for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough patch. The next six days are basically a write-off. We’ve got a tiny, weak swell hanging around, but the wind is just junk – cross-shore or cross-onshore from the east and southeast, blowing it all to pieces. The waves are small, choppy, and have no push. The water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
We’re looking at a real dry spell from Friday the 7th all the way through to Wednesday the 19th of August. That’s about twelve days where the surf is either flat, blown out, or just plain ugly. The energy is pitiful, with numbers like 20 (weak) and barely cracking 100.
Finally, around Wednesday the 19th, things start to look a little more human. The wind switches to a light offshore from the southwest, and the swell starts to show a pulse. It’s still small, only 2 ft, but it’s coming from the east with a period of 9 seconds, which is a step up. The energy is still weak (53), but it’s clean. We’re still in the “surfable but very ordinary” zone.
The best of the whole run, and it’s barely a standout, is the morning of Friday the 21st of August. Wind is glassy, light from the east, and the swell is a clean 2 ft from the east with a 9-second period. The energy is just a bit higher (63), and it’ll be glassy and clean. It’s not going to be a world-class session, but it’s the only window where the waves won’t be a total battle. Expect crowds, though, because Flagler Pier is exposed and often busy.
The following morning, Saturday the 22nd, also starts glassy, but the swell is a tiny 1 ft. It’s a long wait for small scraps.
So, bottom line: the next week and a half is a wash. The only real window is a couple of mornings starting late in the second week. Not much to write home about, but a clean, small wave is better than nothing.
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.
