The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down in feet and mph.
Truth is, the first week and a half is a real bummer. The waves are tiny, barely pushing 1.5 to 2 feet for days, and the energy in the water is pitiful. The combined swell energy sits in the single digits and low double digits, meaning there's no power. You're looking at a lot of messy, wind-affected junk. It's a solid week to ten days of mostly poor surf, so don't get your hopes up.
The first real sign of life comes around Saturday, August 8th. The swell builds to about 3 feet from the east, with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 158 in the morning. That's something, but the wind is still cross-onshore, so it'll be bumpy. The afternoon has a similar 3-foot swell and even more energy at 186, but the wind is cross-shore, so it's still not clean.
The standout window, and the only time I'd really be stoked, is Sunday, August 9th, through to Wednesday, August 12th. The swell holds around 2.5 to 3 feet, and the period stretches to 10 and 11 seconds – that's some proper groundswell. The combined energy is in the 100-188 range, so there's some decent power. The real winners are the mornings. Sunday the 9th and Tuesday the 11th are both showing glassy conditions with light southerly winds. That's a huge plus for clean waves. Wednesday the 12th morning has a light offshore breeze from the west-southwest, which will groom the 3-foot swell from the east-northeast perfectly. The swell direction is a good match for the pier.
For the absolute best on offer, I'm calling Tuesday morning, August 11th. We've got a clean 2.5 to 3 feet of groundswell from the east-northeast, with an 11-second period, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is 144, so it's got some punch. And Wednesday the 12th morning is a very close second: 3 feet from the east-northeast, 11-second period, and a light offshore breeze. That's a recipe for clean, lined-up waves. Keep in mind that crowds are possible here, as it can get busy.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing worth noting.
After that, the surf fades again into the middle of August, with smaller waves and a drop in energy. The offshore winds pop up again on the 14th, but the swell is back down to about 1.5 feet with only 61 units of energy, so it's a soft 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.
