The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer for Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a bit of a bummer for the most part. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf ahead. The first few days are barely worth a paddle, with waves hanging around a pathetic 0.7ft to 1ft. The combined swell energy is in the dumps, reading between 6 and 17, which is just flat out weak. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-off, which would be great if there was any wave to clean up, but there just isn't. We're looking at a gap of several days with no real surf to speak of. The water temp is about average for this time of year, which is no surprise.
There's a glimmer of hope on the horizon, but it's a long way off. The most interesting window looks to be around Friday, August 7th in the morning. We finally see a pulse of swell come through, with wave heights reaching 3ft from the ESE. The combined energy jumps to a more moderate 135. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it won't be perfect, but it's the best size we'll see. For a beach break, anything over 5ft can be a handful, so this stays in the intermediate zone. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it won't have the punch of a groundswell, but it's something to get excited about after a long wait.
Saturday, August 8th brings a bit of chaos. The wind cranks up to a near gale from the NNE in the morning, blowing the surf out completely. By the afternoon, the wind swings to the WNW, also near gale, but it's offshore. The waves will be a bumpy 2ft with a combined energy of 45. It’s a clean-up, but the wind is howling enough to make it a battle. This setup might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it settles back down into the tiny stuff for the second week. The last day in the outlook, Thursday, August 13th, has a morning with 2ft from the NE and a clean offshore wind, but at a 7-second period, it's not going to be a standout.
Honestly, if you're desperate for a wave, the morning of the 7th is your best bet, but don't expect a classic. Everything else is a flat spell.

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.
