The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming our way at Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks. Looking at the big picture, it’s a pretty flat and quiet stretch for us. There are no proper standouts to get truly fired up about. We’ve got a long gap with hardly anything worth paddling out for, and the few moments that might offer a wave are pretty ordinary.
The first bit of hope comes around Wednesday morning, July 22nd. The swell is tiny, just 2ft from the ESE, with a short period of 7 seconds—real weak stuff. The combined energy is only 50 (moderate), which tells you just how limp it is. Winds are light from the south, and it’s clean, but honestly, these are "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." You could get wet, but don’t expect much.
From there, we hit a dead zone. From Wednesday afternoon all the way through to the end of the month and into the first days of August, the forecast is just one "poor surf conditions" note after another. There’s a lot of cross-shore wind, lumpy chop, and tiny swell that never gets above 2ft. The offshore wind windows on the 25th and 26th (Saturday and Sunday mornings) might look tempting, but with the swell barely mustering 2ft to 2ft and a short period, it’s just not gonna offer much. The energy stays weak, never cracking three digits (63 is the highest we see in that stretch).
We do see a small uptick right at the very end on Sunday, August 2nd, with 2ft from the SE and the combined energy hitting 49. But it’s accompanied by heavy rain and light cross-off wind. It’s a no-go for quality.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that deserves a "best on offer" call. If you absolutely need to get in the water, Wednesday morning, July 22nd, is the least bad option. It’s clean, but the swell is pathetic.
Water temp at the start is 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, only 0.2° cooler than average. So, no surprises there.
It’s a long, quiet stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now it looks like a good time to clean the wax off the boards and wait.
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.
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.
