The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty.
Right, let's be straight with you about Flagler Pier. Looking at the whole run, there's nothing that gets the heart racing. We're stuck in a long, quiet patch with weak little dribbles of east-southeast swell. The combined energy is tiny, mostly double digits like 60 or 29, and only flirting with a meagre 130 later on. The water temp is sitting around 82°, which is pretty normal for the time of year, not feeling any different from what you'd expect in August.
From Sunday the 9th right through to Saturday the 22nd, it's a real struggle. The swell is almost non-existent, barely cracking 2 ft at best and mostly hanging around 1 ft to 2 ft. The period is short, 6 to 8 seconds, so there's no push or shape. The wind is all over the place, swinging between light offshores and moderate cross-shore breezes, but with no real swell to work with, it's a flat, choppy mess. It's poor surf, plain and simple.
Saturday the 22nd afternoon is the only time we get a whisper of something, with the call changing from "poor" to "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". You might find a little 2 ft wave from the east-southeast, and the wind is a light cross-off, keeping it clean. It's not a standout, just the least bad option in a very quiet period.
Into the final week, the swell tries to show some life around Wednesday the 19th with a 2 ft wave from the east and a period pushing 12 seconds, and the combined energy gets up to 130. But the wind is cross-onshore, so it'll be a bumpy mess. The 21st and 22nd see some clean conditions with offshore winds, but the swell is still tiny. There's a little bump of long-period energy on the 23rd, 13 seconds from the east, but it's only 0.7 ft, so it's just a ripple on the surface.
In short, Flagler Pier is going to be a tough watch for the next couple of weeks. You'd be better off waiting for the next forecast update; things 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.
