The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s talk about Flagler Pier. The next couple of weeks are pretty slim pickings for paddle surfing. We start with a big dry gap – from now, Monday August 24th, all the way through to the morning of Wednesday September 2nd, there’s really nothing worth suiting up for.
First sign of life comes Wednesday morning, September 2nd. Water temp is about average for this time of year. We’ve got tiny 2ft waves coming from the east with a 14-second period – that’s proper groundswell, long waits between sets, makes paddling out easier. The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean. Combined swell energy is a weak 151 – no power behind it. It’s surfable, but just barely. Afternoon sees a bump to 3ft but the wind turns cross-off and picks up, so it’s for the patient ones.
The standout, the best of the lot, is Thursday, September 3rd. Morning brings 4ft east swell, same 14-second period, with clean cross-off wind. Swell energy climbs to a moderate 503 – you’ll feel that push. Then the afternoon hits with 3ft waves, a 13-second groundswell, and clean offshore wind from the southwest. That’s the session to circle on the calendar. Wave quality is expected to be good. It’s not a big day, but it’s the cleanest and most organized swell of the run.
After that, it fades. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th stay small and clean but with weak energy, 70-186 range. Sunday the 6th is glassy but tiny. Monday the 7th has a little 2ft NE swell with offshore wind, but the period is short at 11 seconds. Tuesday the 8th stays small with short period.
Bottom line: aim for Thursday, September 3rd. The morning, and especially the afternoon, are your best bet for clean, chest-high waves with good shape and true offshore wind. Crowds are often at Flagler Pier, so you won’t be alone. Everything else? Just wait it out.

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.
