The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, digging into the Flagler Pier outlook for the next couple weeks. Let’s be honest, we’re looking at a pretty flat and uninspiring run for a while, with most of the time offering little to get excited about.
The season has gone quiet for our stretch of coast. The first week is a real struggle. We’ve got weak, short-period windswell from the east and southeast, barely cracking 2ft even on the best morning. Friday the 4th starts things off with a tiny 2ft east swell, and while the morning has a light cross-off breeze, the energy is pathetic (52). The whole first week and into the second is filled with mostly poor surf conditions, glassy mornings but with almost no wave height to work with.
The only glimmer, and I mean a faint one, comes on Saturday the 12th. We see a bump in swell height to 4ft from the east-northeast early in the day. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 93, which is at least something to paddle for. The morning is clean with a light cross-off wind. But listen, the swell period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and lack punch. By the afternoon, a strong cross-shore kicks up and chops it out.
After that, the next few days build a bit more energy but the winds turn against us. From Sunday the 13th through Tuesday the 15th, the swell jacks up to 4-5ft, with combined energy hitting 142-207. That sounds good, right? Wrong. The wind is hammering from the north and east-northeast, hitting the pier as cross-on to onshore, creating nasty, choppy conditions. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year (anomaly of -1°), so you might want a spring suit.
To be straight with you, Flagler Pier doesn’t have a standout session in this 16-day window. The best bet is the clean, glassy windows on the 7th, 8th, and 9th of September if you just need to get wet, but the waves are knee-high at best. The Saturday morning of the 12th is the only real opportunity for a wave, but it’s not worth a special trip. Days 14 through 19 are all blown out. The break is fairly consistent in that it rarely goes completely flat, but it will be a long stretch of poor quality.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
