Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flagler Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta level with you right off the bat. We’ve got a bit of a flat spell on the horizon. For the next 16 days, starting now and running through to the 26th of July, the surf at Flagler Pier is looking pretty darn slim. There’s not a single session I’d call good, so we’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf. The good news is, when it’s this quiet, the forecasts can sometimes shift, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Let’s break it down. Through this weekend and into next week, we’ve got tiny swell – only 0.7 ft to 2 ft from the ESE, with periods mostly at 8 seconds. The wave energy is super low, we’re talking readings like 25 (weak) up to maybe 45 (weak) on Tuesday afternoon, so there’s just no push. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, but that’s about the only exciting thing.
We do get some nice glassy conditions on Saturday morning, and a few clean windows with light offshore winds (WSW) on Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th, and even a couple of glassy afternoons late in the run, like on Sunday the 26th. But honestly, when the wave height is 0.7 ft to 1 ft, even perfect conditions can’t make it rideable. It’s just too small for a proper surf.
If you’re absolutely desperate for a paddle, the cleanest windows are going to be those early mornings when the wind is light or offshore – check Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th in the early AM, or Sunday the 26th when it goes glassy. But keep your expectations in the gutter. The swell direction (ESE) is far from the optimum NE direction for Flagler Pier, so we’re not getting any decent wrap.
Look, it’s a tough outlook. There’s a lot of days with cross-shore or cross-onshore breezes that will just chop up those already tiny waves. For the entire 16-day window, the forecast score is a flat zero across the board – that tells you everything. There are no standouts, no hidden gems, just a whole lot of flat water. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area when the summer pattern settles in.
Hang tight, check back with me. Rusty 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.
