The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call, folks. Rusty here. We’re looking at Flagler Pier for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – the surf is looking pretty weak for the foreseeable future. We’re staring down a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that just aren’t gonna get the heart pumping. There’s a real gap here, with almost nothing worth paddling out for.
We start off on Wednesday the 15th with practically nothing. The swell is a paltry 1 foot from the ESE with a short period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 29 (weak energy). The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about average for the time of year. It’s clean in the morning with a light WNW cross-offshore breeze, but that’s about the only good thing. It’s just too small. This flat, poor pattern is going to lock in for days.
We go right through Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday the 19th. The swell stays pinned at 0.7 feet to 1 feet. We’ll get some glassy mornings and light offshore winds from the SW, but with that tiny, weak swell, it’s just a lake. The energy readings are all in the single digits and low twenties. It’s a real bummer.
Finally, on Monday the 20th, we see a tiny bump. The afternoon swell picks up to 4 feet from the SE, but it’s a short period windswell of just 5 seconds. The energy jumps to 61 (still weak), but the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the SE at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. It’s not really surfable.
The pattern repeats all the way through to the end of the month. We get a few afternoons with a bit of waist-high stuff, like on Tuesday the 21st and the 28th, but the wind is either onshore or strong cross-shore, and the period is so short it’s just a bumpy mess. The standout day, if you could call it that, is on Tuesday the 28th in the afternoon. The swell is 2 feet from the SE with a period of 8 seconds, and we get a clean offshore breeze from the SW. The energy reading is 76 (weak), so it’s still small, but it’s the best we’ll see. It’s the only day in the whole 16 days where the conditions are even close to being called “surfable.”
Honestly, with this kind of weak, short-period windswell and a beach/pier setup, this is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wave quality is just not there. It’s a long, flat run. Hang in there, the forecasts can always change.

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.
