The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s on the cards for Flagler Pier.

First up, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough outlook. The start of this stretch is real quiet. The water temp is sitting at 82°F, which is a bit colder than we'd expect for this time of year, so factor that into your wetsuit choice if you're heading out. From the very beginning through to the morning of Tuesday, September 16th, we are looking at a long, dry spell. For nearly two weeks, the surf is just not cooperating. The waves are tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are pretty much all "poor surf conditions". There’s a lot of cross-shore wind and chop out there, nothing that’s gonna get the heart pumping.

Tuesday Morning, September 1st kicks off flat with a 2ft easterly swell and a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 72 (weak), and with a northeast onshore breeze, it’s just messy. This same story plays out day after day. We get a few glimpses of glassy conditions, like on Saturday morning, September 5th, where the wind goes glassy out of the WSW at 3 mph, but the swell is down to a pathetic 1ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The period is short, so you’re just bobbing around.

The same pattern holds through the weekend and into the next week. Monday morning, September 7th is glassy again, but the swell is only 1.0ft. The energy is so low (19) it’s not worth paddling out for. The only real positive is that the wind is often light or glassy, which makes the water look like a mirror, but without any push from the ocean, it's just a swim.

Now, there is a bit of a flicker of life but it's not good news. The first real change comes on Wednesday morning, September 16th. The swell jumps up to 5ft from the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 212 (moderate). But here’s the catch: the wind is onshore from the NNE at 6 mph, and the forecast calls it "marginal surf forecast". That north-east wind is just going to trash the shape. At 5ft, it’s not huge, but it’s enough to be a handful for beginners, and the onshore wind will make it lumpy. It’s a real shame, because that’s the only bit of energy we get in the whole 16 days.

To be honest, this stretch is a write-off for surfing. The breaks are quiet, the energy is weak, and the one day with a pulse is blown out. If you’re a local, you know Flagler Pier can be like this – it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, I’d be taking a break. Wait for the next system.

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.
