The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into what we're looking at for Flagler Pier.
Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell. We're looking at a long stretch of minimal to non-existent surf all the way through the first week and into the second. The wave energy is just too weak for anything decent. You'll see the combined energy down in the low numbers for days, which is barely a ripple. Morning winds look okay at times, but with almost no swell to work with, it's a tough watch. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year at 83°F.
The first real flicker of life doesn't show up until Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd. Even then, it's a gentle 3ft easterly swell with a moderate period of 11 seconds. The energy finally breaks into triple digits but it's hampered by a gentle cross-onshore breeze, so it'll be pretty gutless and choppy.
For my one true standout, you've got to wait until early on Friday, September 11th. That's a full week and a half away, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the early forecast for that morning is the only decent window in this whole run. We're looking at a clean 2ft swell from the ENE with a 10-second period that should give it a bit of shape. The magic is that wind is showing as calm and glassy. That will make for some super clean, smooth lines on the incoming tide. The energy is moderate and it's not strong, but for a pier break, those glassy conditions are a rare treat and will make the most of what little we have.
Before that, the setup is mostly wind-swell chop and onshore junk. If you're a kite surfer, the constant onshore breeze and small messy waves from late August into early September will look more interesting than it does for a paddle surfer. Keep an eye on that Friday the 11th morning though, that's the one to circle on the calendar.

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.
