The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaking for Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you: it’s a lean stretch. We’ve got a long dry spell to start, and the surf that does show up is pretty ordinary. Hang tight.

The first week is a real bummer. From Thursday, August 20th through Wednesday, August 26th, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting around 15 (Thursday 20th morning) to 27 (Sunday 23rd morning) – barely a pulse. Waves are hovering at 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft with poor conditions. Friday morning the 21st does go glassy with clean conditions, but there’s no swell to ride. Saturday morning the 22nd has a clean, gentle offshore wind, but again, only 1.0 ft of 9-second E swell, with weak energy (20). It’s frustrating because the wind is right, but the ocean just isn’t delivering.

We finally get a tiny pulse on Saturday afternoon the 22nd. A 2 ft swell from the SE with moderate energy (102) bumps the score up to a 1. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Sunday afternoon the 23rd has a similar 3 ft SE swell (energy 105), but a moderate 16 mph cross-shore wind chops it right up.

Things don’t really improve. There are glimmers – like Thursday morning the 27th with clean offshore wind and a 1.0 ft ESE swell (energy 23) – but the size is just too small. The only other time we see the combined energy crack the 100 mark is Friday afternoon the 28th, with a 3 ft swell (energy 140) from the ESE, but a strong 16 mph cross-shore makes it a messy, blown-out mess. By the time we get to Wednesday morning, September 2nd, there’s a 2 ft swell showing with glassy conditions and energy at 58, but it’s just a quick moment before the afternoon chop returns.

There are no standouts here. The best on offer, if you are desperate, would be Saturday afternoon, August 22nd. The swell direction is SE, which lines up OK for Flagler Pier, and with a 2 ft swell (energy of 102) it’s at least surfable. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so it’ll be on the cleaner side. But even then, it’s not good – it’s just the least bad option. If you’re a beginner, this 2 ft is fine, but only if you can handle the mediocre quality.

For the rest of the second week (from Aug 30th through Sep 4th), it’s more of the same: tiny swell, weak energy (mostly in the 20s to 60s), and chop. The water temp on that first Saturday the 22nd is 85°, which is about average for the time of year (anomaly is 1°).

With such consistently weak, poor-quality surf and onshore or cross-shore winds, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing, especially on the windier afternoons, than for paddle surfing.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts. It tends not to stay this flat forever.

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.
