The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin'.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are lookin' pretty grim for Flagler Pier. We've got a run of small, weak, and bumpy surf that's gonna test your patience. The water's sittin' at 81°, which is a bit colder than what we usually get this time of year, so you might want a spring suit.
The whole forecast window is a bit of a dud. For the first week, from Wednesday afternoon right through to the following Tuesday, it's all "poor surf conditions" with waves barely cracking 2ft. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, chopping up what little bit of energy there is. The combined swell energy is real low, mostly sitting under 150 - barely a pulse.
There's a tiny window on the morning of Saturday the 5th where we get a clean 1ft wave with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW. It's not much, but it'll be the cleanest the beach looks for a while.
Things don't improve much in the second week. We see a bit more energy on the 13th, with a combined swell energy hitting 101, but it's messy with onshore winds. The surf is still tiny. The absolute standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Tuesday the 16th. The wind goes totally glassy out of the NNE, but you're still looking at a paltry 1ft of swell. It'll be pretty as a picture, but you'll be doing more floating than riding.
Honestly, if you need a paddle, your best bet is the morning of Saturday the 5th for the cleanest conditions, or the morning of September 16th for a glassy session on a knee-high wave. Otherwise, this stretch looks better for a beach day than a surf day.

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.
