The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Flagler Pier.
Honestly, if you’re itching for a proper surf session, you’re looking at a long, dry spell. The next week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’ve got a tiny little swell, mostly around 1 foot from the ESE, with a short period around 6-8 seconds. That’s barely enough to get a foam ball to roll in. The combined swell energy is pitiful, mostly in the low double digits – like 10 or 14 (weak energy) – which is just background noise. The wind is all over the shop, but even when it goes glassy, like on Thursday morning the 13th or Saturday morning the 15th, there’s simply no wave to ride. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
We do get a bit of a pulse on Tuesday the 18th afternoon. The swell bumps up to 2 feet from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 128 (moderate wave energy). But the wind is a cross-on breeze at 15 km/h, making it pretty choppy and messy. Not a day to get excited about.
Then, on Wednesday the 19th morning, we finally see something a little more interesting. The swell is 2 feet from the E, with a period of 11 seconds, and combined energy at 86 (still weak). The wind is light and offshore from the W at 5 km/h, which will keep the surface clean. It’s flagged as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s not a standout. The long-ish period might just give it a bit of shape, but at this size, it’s going to be small and slow.
After that, we’re back to tiny, poor surf for the rest of the forecast. There’s a gap of about 8 days from the 12th to the 19th before we get that one OK window. If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 2 feet, so it’s small enough, but the quality is just not there.
Honestly, the best bet is to keep an eye on the Wednesday the 19th morning window. Otherwise, it’s a flat spell for Flagler Pier.
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.
