The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you. Looking at the charts for Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks, there’s not much to get excited about. It’s a tough outlook.
Right now, the pattern is flat and messy. Saturday morning, the 5th, we’ve got tiny 1 ft easterly windswell with a weak period of 8 seconds. The overall wave energy is barely registering at 20 (weak). The wind is light and cross-offshore, which would normally be nice, but there’s just no push. It’s poor surf.
Sunday the 6th is even smaller, with under 1 ft and energy down to 8 (weak). Monday is more of the same. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny waves and onshore or cross-shore winds. Tuesday the 8th offers a tiny bump to 1 ft, but it’s onshore and choppy.
The first hint of something happens on Thursday the 10th. The morning session goes glassy, with a clean surface, but the swell is still only 2 ft from the ENE at a short 7 seconds, with weak energy at 59. The wave comment says “surfable but very ordinary,” and that’s being generous. It’s not a standout; it’s just the best of a bad bunch.
We then go back into a long stretch of poor conditions. The 12th and 13th see the swell trying to push up to 3 ft from the NE, but the period stays short and the wind is a messy cross-onshore chop. The combined energy on the 13th morning hits 114 (moderate), but the poor wind and short period ruin it. It's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
We’ve got a genuine gap after that. From the 14th right through to the 20th, the forecast is a dead zone of tiny swell, onshore wind, and persistent “poor surf conditions.” There’s no recommendation to chase.
Forget the long-range hope. The only window worth a look is Thursday morning the 10th at Flagler Pier. Wind is glassy, and you might find a 2 ft crumbler. Don’t expect much. It’s a session for the log or the longboard if you’re desperate for a paddle.
Rusty.

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.
