The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what we've got cooking for the Flagler Pier stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a flat spell. We're looking at a real dry patch from now until the end of August. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.6ft to 2ft, and the wind is often a problem. Morning windows might look clean on paper, but the energy is just not there. The combined energy of all swells is barely registering, stuck in the 20s and 30s. It's a tough time to get a proper wave. You'll see a few glassy mornings on the 26th, 27th, and 28th, but the swell is so small it's not worth getting excited about. The afternoons then get chopped up by a sea breeze.
Now, things start to look a little more interesting as we head into September. The first real standout, and honestly the best bet of the whole 16-day window, is the morning of Monday, September 1st. We've got a little bump in the swell to 1ft, but it's a long-period groundswell coming in from the east at 16 seconds. That's a proper energy level, with the combined swell energy hitting 106. The water is a balmy 84°, which is about average for the time of year. The wind is glassy, just a slight air, so it'll be clean. It's a small wave, but it will have some push and shape. Expect it to be a bit inconsistent with those long gaps between sets, and the pier can get crowded, so bring your patience.
The other few mornings that are worth a mention are the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th of September. They're all small, with 2ft to 2ft of east swell, but the wind is glassy in the mornings. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 113, 114, and 73 respectively. Perfect for a longboard or a funboard. The morning of the 6th is a bit different – we get a bit more size, 3ft, but it's a short-period wind swell from the northeast at 7 seconds. It'll be a bit lumpy and less clean, but the glassy offshore wind from the WNW will make it rideable. The short period means it's a bit more of a beach-break crumble, not a gem.
All in all, if you want the best of the bunch, set your alarm for the morning of Monday, September 1st. The rest of the time, it's small, clean windows for the longboard crew. The mornings are your friend, the afternoons are not.
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.
