The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let's talk Flagler Pier, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – this 16-day run looks pretty bleak. For the vast majority of it, you'll be better off doing something else.
The water's sitting right around 85°, which is about standard for this time of year, so no real change there.
We start with a big ol' dry spell. From Saturday, August 22nd, right through until the end of the month, there's hardly a ripple. Swell heights are tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wave energy is weak, barely breaking 100. Winds are cross-shore or onshore, making a mess of what little bump there is. It's a long stretch of nothing.
Things finally perk up, just a little, on the morning of Tuesday, September 1st. You'll see a 3ft swell from the ESE, and the energy bumps up to 217. It's still a marginal call with light cross-shore wind, but it's something to look at.
The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd. We're looking at glassy conditions with a light SSE breeze, and a clean 3ft swell rolling in from the east with an 11-second period. That’s a groundswell, so it’ll have some proper shape. The combined energy hits 209, which is a moderate push. This is your best chance. Just remember, Flagler Pier gets 'often' crowded, so get there early if you want a piece of it.
After that, it's back to the small stuff. The morning of Saturday, September 5th offers a little 2ft swell with offshore wind, but the period is only 5 seconds, so it'll be weak and crumbly.
So, a long stretch of flatness, one decent glassy morning, and then back to quiet. The 2nd of September is your day.
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.
