Flagler Pier Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Flagler Pier has cookin' over the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty flat and sad for the most part. The whole 16-day window is rough. There's a big gap right at the start with no real surf to speak of, and honestly, the only time things even try to perk up is right at the very end. We're talkin' a solid week of nothing worth paddling out for from July 20th right through until the 27th, with nothing but tiny, weak waves blown out by side-shore winds. It's a tough stretch.

Let's talk about the only real moment of hope. On Monday the 27th of July, in the afternoon, we finally see a pulse of energy. The swell nudges up to about 3 ft coming out of the ESE, and the wave energy climbs to a moderate 120. The wind goes light and variable, turning cross-offshore, so the surface cleans up nicely. It's still not firing, but for this stretch, it's as good as it gets. If you're desperate for a slide, that's your window. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

After that little hiccup, it goes right back to junk. The rest of the forecast is dominated by tiny, period-starved swells below 1.6 ft and onshore breezes. There's nothing here that's gonna get anyone's heart racing. This is a flat spell, plain and simple. For the week that follows, from the 28th of July right through to August 4th, we see a couple of offshore mornings with clean conditions, but the swell is laughably small – we're talking 0.6 ft to 1 ft with energy readings in the teens. It's barely a ripple. You'd need a longboard and a whole lot of patience.

Bottom line: Flagler Pier is taking a nap for the next two weeks. The only date that even raises an eyebrow is the afternoon of July 27th. The rest is a write-off. It's gonna be a quiet one on the beach.
