The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty flat spell ahead. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with not much to get excited about. The water temp is sittin’ around 83°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The outlook kicks off on Thursday the 16th of July, but don’t get your hopes up. We’re talkin’ ankle-biters at 1ft from the ESE with a short 8-second period. The combined swell energy is a measly 23 (weak energy), and the wind is all over the shop. It stays poor through Friday and into Saturday the 18th, with similar tiny waves. Saturday morning does see a clean, offshore breeze from the SSW at 9 mph, but with only 1ft on offer, it’s barely a ripple.
There’s a bit of a lift on Monday the 20th of July. The afternoon shows a bump to 4ft from the SE, but the period is a short 5 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and disorganised. The combined energy climbs to 66 (still weak), and with a light offshore breeze, it’s surfable but very ordinary. It’s the best we’ve got, but that’s not sayin’ much.
The following days just drift along with nothing really changing. We see a slight improvement on Wednesday the 22nd of July, with 2ft from the ESE and an 8-second period, combined energy at 85 (weak). Still small, still ordinary. This pattern of tiny, weak surf stretches right through the end of the month and into the 31st of July. Even a glassy morning on the 31st with 1ft won’t save it.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s not a single standout session. The swell is just too small and weak to provide any real quality. The best you can hope for is a dribbly, onshore day that’s barely worth paddling out for. It’s a lean run for Flagler Pier.
Rusty.

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.
