The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next two weeks around Flagler Pier are looking pretty grim for any kind of decent surf session. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and unfriendly winds, so don't get your hopes up too high.
Looking at the whole picture, we're in for a flat spell. The first recommendation doesn't even pop up until the 7th of September, which is a solid week and a half away. Before that, from now right through to the 6th, it's a total write-off. The swell is tiny, never getting above 2.3 ft, and the periods are short, mostly around 8 seconds or less. The wind is a constant problem too, mainly onshore or cross-shore, just ruining any chance of a clean face. The water temp is sitting at 83.3°F, which is actually a touch cooler than usual for this time of year – only about 0.5°F below average, so nothing to write home about, just a normal late summer feel.
This stretch of flatness is normal for this area, so don't sweat it. It happens.
Now, the first glimmer of hope comes on Monday morning, September 7th. We finally see a small pulse of swell from the NE, pushing 1.6 ft with a 10-second period. The combined energy is still weak at 63. The wind will be light and cross-offshore from the WNW, which should keep things reasonably clean. The call is just "surfable but ordinary," so yeah, it's small. This is the best of a bad bunch, but that's not saying much.
The next chance comes on the morning of Tuesday, September 8th. We've got a similar 2.0 ft from the ENE, but with a glassy NNE wind – that's a massive plus for clean conditions. The energy is still weak at 77 though. It'll be a real knee-padder, but it's the cleanest setup we see.
The final slight window is Wednesday morning, September 9th. A 2.0 ft ENE swell with a bit more period at 11 seconds, and a clean offshore wind from the SSW. The combined energy hits just 100, which is the upper end of weak. It's the same story – small, but rideable if you're desperate.
The Bottom Line: Honestly, there's no standout session here. The best of the lot is probably the glassy morning on Tuesday the 8th, or the clean offshore on Wednesday the 9th. Both are for beginners or longboarders looking for a gentle cruise. The rest of the time, we're looking at onshore chop and minimal swell. If you're a kiter, this onshore wind and lack of surf might actually be more interesting than what we have for paddling. Don't hold your breath for the second week, it just peters out into nothing.
Stay patient, Flagler.

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.
