The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Flagler Pier. I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch is a real bum trip. The waves are basically flat, with swell heights barely scraping 1ft to 4ft, and even the bigger ones are short period, messy junk. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 100 – barely a ripple. There’s not a single session I’d call good. The wind is all over the place but never truly lining up with the weak little pulses. A few glassy moments on Wednesday afternoon July 15 and Saturday morning July 18, but with only 0.6ft to 1ft on offer, you’re just sitting out there on a lake. The only hint of something surfable is on the afternoon of July 23 with 3ft and a 1/10 score – “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – and again on July 26 and 27 mornings with similar tiny stuff. But that’s not a recommendation, that’s a consolation prize.
Flagler Pier is a beach/pier break, fairly consistent by nature, but when there’s no swell, there’s no swell. The optimum direction is NE, and we’re stuck with weak ESE and SE windswell most of the time. Crowds can be an issue here (often crowded), but honestly, nobody’s paddling out for this. If you’re desperate for a foamie session in knee-high slop, maybe Wednesday afternoon July 23 has the best combo: 3ft from ESE, light cross-off wind, clean. But I wouldn’t drive for it.
The good news? This spot is fairly consistent, so a blank run like this is unusual. Forecasts change – keep an eye out for a proper groundswell from the northeast down the line.

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.
