The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut to the chase. The next week and a half at Flagler Pier is looking pretty lean. We’ve got a long stretch of poor, weak, and messy surf starting now and running through the 23rd. The energy is just pitiful—most days in the low double digits or weak hundreds like 38 on the 19th. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is constantly cross or onshore. It's a lot of chop and crumble, definitely not worth the paddle out.
There is a long gap of over a week with nothing to write home about. You'll see some small chest-high waves on the 23rd, but it's still junky with onshore wind.
The first real sign of life comes on the 24th. We get a bump in size to around 6ft, but the wind is still cross-onshore, and it's being called marginal. The energy jumps into the 500s, which is a big step up, but it might still be a bit of a battle. If you're keen, you could find one, but you'll have to work for it.
Then, the standout. Friday the 25th is the day. We're looking at a solid 7ft of NE groundswell pushing in, and the wind finally swings offshore from the SW. It's clean, it's powerful, and the energy is cranked up to 990. This is the one worth getting out of bed for. It's not for beginners—that's a proper, serious wave—but for the crew who can handle it, this is going to be the best session on offer.
The morning of Saturday the 26th is a close second. It's glassy, dead calm, with a solid 5-6ft of ENE swell. The energy is in the 500s. It will be softer than Friday, but it'll be perfect. Clean lines, no wind—a dream.
After that, it holds some size, but the wind turns onshore again and gets messy. By the 29th, we're looking at 8ft plus, but it's all chopped up and blown out. The energy readings are massive, over 1300, but that just means a lot of raw, unruly power. That’s kitesurfing territory, not surfing.
So, the plan is simple. Skip everything until the 24th. Then, if you’re an experienced surfer, mark the 25th as your top choice, with the morning of the 26th as a very close second. The long-range stuff is promising but it's over a week away, so keep your fingers crossed and stay ready.

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.
