The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s in store for Flagler Pier. Right now, the window is wide open, but there’s not much to get excited about for a while. We’ve got a solid run of flat or near-flat conditions, so you’re looking at a dry spell that stretches from the start of the outlook all the way through to around August 19th. That’s nearly a week with nothing worth paddling out for.
The water is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Wednesday, August 19th, is the first morning that shows any pulse of life. We’re looking at a tiny 2-foot swell from the east, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a bit of groundswell energy creeping in, and the combined swell energy is 90 – weak, but it’s the most we’ve seen. The wind is light and cross-off from the SSW, so the surface will be clean. It’s still small, and the shape will be ordinary, but it’s the first surfable moment in the whole forecast. Not a standout, just the first sign of something.
The morning of August 20th offers a glassy, calm session with the swell dropping back to 2 feet from the east. It’s a brief window of clean, tiny waves before the onshore kicks in again. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your best bet.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that screams “go now.” The swell stays tiny, the periods are short, and the energy is weak across the board. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, so the surface is going to be choppy and messy. For most of this 16-day stretch, the beach setup at Flagler Pier looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The waves just aren’t there.
Keep an eye on the forecast, because it tends not to stay this flat for long, but right now, you’re better off leaving the board in the car.
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.
