The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – Flagler Pier is in a bit of a flat spell right now. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak energy for the next two weeks, so don’t get your hopes up for anything firing. The first real chance to even bob around comes on Thursday, September 10th, but it’s a meager 2ft from the NE with a short 7-second period. The combined energy is a weak 80, and while the wind is light and cross-off in the morning, the waves are just “surfable but very ordinary.” That’s the best of a bad lot, and I’m not getting excited about it. Water temp is sitting at 81°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
The run-up to that is all poor. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are tiny 1.0ft junk with messy winds. Monday the 7th is clean but still only 1.0ft. We get a tiny bump on Wednesday the 9th to 3ft from the NE, but the period is only 8 seconds and the combined energy is moderate at 149, yet the winds are messy and the report says “poor surf conditions.” Nothing to write home about.
After that Thursday the 10th, it’s more of the same. Friday the 11th offers a glassy dawn with 1.0ft, but the afternoon gets choppy. Saturday the 12th has a morning glass-off, but again, just 1ft. The whole second week from the 13th to the 20th is a monotonous run of 0.7ft to 2ft waves, mostly from the east with short periods and cross-onshore winds. The biggest swell in that window is 2ft on the 16th, but it’s ENE and choppy. Even the 20th sees a 2ft, 10-second pulse, but it’s cross-on.
Look, for a beach/pier setup like this, it’s just not happening. The swell is too weak and the winds are rarely right. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest windows are the mornings of September 11th and 12th, but you’ll be on a 1.0ft to 1ft dribble. Otherwise, save your energy. This is a proper dry spell.

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.
