The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's cut through the data and talk about what's actually going to get us wet. The 16-day window is a mixed bag, but there's some serious potential brewing if you're patient.
Right now, looking at Flagler Pier, it's a frustrating stretch of flat and messy conditions. We’ve got a good 13 days of nothing worthwhile on the cards. The few tiny pulses of swell, like around 1ft to 2ft, are getting chopped up by onshore or cross-shore winds, making it a total write-off. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 83°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so at least it's warm out there.
There are glimmers of hope earlier on. Take a look at Sunday, September 13th morning – the wind goes dead calm, glassy as a mirror, with a 2ft, 9-second swell pushing in from the east. The combined energy is weak (41), so it's not big, but that glassy surface will make it look a million bucks for a quick log session. Also, the morning of Monday, September 14th is the same story – glassy conditions with a tiny 2ft easterly. These are the only real clean windows in the first week, but the swell is just too small to get excited about.
If you've got the patience of a saint, the real story is the big shift late in the second week. Around Wednesday, September 23rd, we see a significant uptick. Morning brings a clean 7ft swell from the east-northeast (9 seconds) with a cross-offshore breeze, and the combined energy jumps to a solid moderate 644. The afternoon cleans up even more with a 7ft swell and a light cross-offshore from the west-southwest. The wave energy is ramping up to 686. This is where it starts getting interesting for intermediate surfers.
But the standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Friday, September 25th. The morning session is the absolute pick of the entire forecast. We're looking at a 8ft easterly swell with an 8-second period, and the wind is dead calm – absolutely glassy. The combined energy is pumping at 804 (moderate to strong). This is going to be big, clean, and powerful. However, a word of caution: the afternoon forecast calls for the swell to hit 10ft. At that size, combined with an onshore breeze, it's going to be a washing machine and strictly for experts only. The morning of the 25th is your window. It will be big, so paddle out fit.
So, to sum it up: the first two weeks are mostly a bust with a couple of small, glassy windows. The real prize is the last few days, specifically the morning of Friday, September 25th at Flagler Pier. Get on it.

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.
