The Lowdown
Alright, let me have a look at what’s coming up for Flagler Pier.
It’s been a pretty quiet stretch here lately, and to be honest, for the next several days, there’s just not much to get excited about. From now through the end of August, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells with hardly any push. Most days you’ll be staring at waves around 1ft to 2ft, and the combined energy barely cracks 55 for the whole block – most of the time it’s sitting in the 20s to 30s, which is really weak. Not worth paddling out for.
The one little blip comes on Wednesday, 19th August, in the morning. We get a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. It’s still very small, and there’s almost no energy (55), so it’s really just something to sit on your board and tan. Not a serious surf.
Then we hit a real gap of nothing until Thursday morning, 27th August. That morning sees a slight bump: 2ft, 12-second period from the east, with light offshore wind from the WSW. The combined energy climbs to a modest 90, so it’s a little better. Still small, but clean. That afternoon picks up a touch to 2ft and 114 of energy, but the wind goes cross-off from the SE, so it stays fairly clean. This Thursday morning is about the best we’ve got on offer in the whole window.
Friday, 28th August, morning also shows a little life – 2ft at 10 seconds from the east, offshore southwest wind at 9 mph, and the energy is 80. It’s surfable but still very ordinary. After that, the whole forecast just fades back into small, weak stuff again right through to September.
Honestly, nothing here is a standout. The water temperature isn’t given, but no anomaly is flagged, so it’s about average for the time of year. If you’re desperate, Thursday 27th August morning is the pick – 2ft east swell, light offshore, waist-high dribble. That’s the best we get. The rest of the time, bring a kite or a towel.

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.
