Alright, I’ve taken a look at what’s coming down the line for Flagler Pier, and I’ve gotta be straight with you—it’s not looking like much of a summer. We’re in for a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly disappointing surf, so if you’ve got the itch, it’s going to take some patience.
The energy just isn’t there for the next two weeks. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits for most of the forecast, sitting between 7 and 27 for days on end, only touching 58 on the afternoon of Thursday the 16th of July and then hitting 106 on the afternoon of Friday the 24th of July. That 106 reading is moderate energy, but it’s a one-off.
Starting from Sunday the 12th of July, we’ve got a solid run of nothing. Waves are 0.6 ft to 1 ft for days, with short periods of 8 seconds or less, and it’s all coming from the ESE or NE—not the optimum NE the break really wants. Morning winds are often light and clean, but there’s just no push. Even the afternoons get a little breeze on them, but it doesn’t matter when the swell is this tiny. This flat spell runs all the way through to the afternoon of Friday the 24th of July.
That afternoon on the 24th is the only real blip on the radar. We finally see the swell tick up to 3 ft from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 106. Winds are light and clean—a slight air from the SSE, so the surface will be glassy. It’s still pretty ordinary, and 3 ft is nothing to write home about, but compared to the weeks of nothing, it’s the best we’ve got. That will likely be the most interesting session in this entire outlook, but don’t expect any power.
After that, it fades right back down. Saturday the 25th shows a morning of 2 ft but with a period of just 5 seconds—windswell junk—and the rest of the run through to Monday the 27th is back to 1 ft and flat. The water temperature around here is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
It’s a tough outlook, my friends. No big swells, no standouts, just a whole lot of waiting. The only day worth a look is the afternoon of the 24th. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, this is what we’ve got.

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.

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.
