The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin’ in on Flagler Pier.
Well, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a brutal stretch of flatness. From Friday, August 21st all the way through to Saturday, September 5th, the surf is near non-existent. The swell is tiny, barely 1 foot most days, and the energy is weak. It’s a long, dry spell.
There’s no real swell to talk about. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, which just messes up what little bump is there. A few mornings do look clean and glassy, like Monday August 24th with calm wind and glassy surface, but the swell is only 0.7 feet. Not enough to ride. Same for Wednesday August 26th morning—clear, glassy, but 1 foot of east swell. It’s a tease.
The only glimmer of hope comes late in the window. On Friday August 28th morning, we get a little bump: 1 feet from the east, period 10 seconds, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is 50 (weak), but it’s surfable, just barely. Saturday August 29th morning is similar: 2 feet, glassy, but the period drops to 8 seconds. That’s the best we’ve got. The water temp is 85°, which is about normal for the time of year.
After that, it’s back to flat. The last few days, September 3rd through the 5th, have some glassy mornings, but the swell is 1 foot or less. It’s a beach break, facing east, but we just don’t have the power.
If you’re really jonesing for a session, the mornings of August 28th and 29th are your only real shot, and even then, it’s gonna be a struggle. This kind of flat run happens here sometimes. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d say hang the board up.
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.
