The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The long-range picture for Flagler Pier is a tough one. We’re looking at a pretty flat run for the first week and a half, with nothing really kicking off until the very end of the window. The water is running a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 82°.
So, here’s the deal. From Sunday the 26th of July all the way through to Saturday the 1st of August, it’s basically a write-off. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best, with swell heights barely scraping 2ft and combined energy readings in the teens and twenties. The wind is messy, mostly cross-shore or cross-off, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" for every single session. There’s nothing to get excited about here.
Sunday the 2nd of August sees a tiny bump of energy, with the swell hitting 2ft from the SE and a combined energy of 128 (moderate energy), but it’s accompanied by a fresh cross-shore wind from the SE at 18 mph, turning the ocean into a lumpy chop. Not your friend.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday morning, the 8th of August. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the east, with a period of 8 seconds, and a light S wind at 3 mph creating a clean, cross-off airflow. The combined energy is 58 (weak energy), but the wave comment finally says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s small, it’s clean, and it’s the best we’ve seen in over a week. The crowd situation at Flagler Pier is often busy, so expect some company.
The standout, if you can call it that, is that Saturday morning session on the 8th of August. It’s not going to blow your mind, but with the pier structure and that east swell, the waves will have a bit of shape. The wind is light enough to keep the surface clean. For a spot that’s been dead for so long, this is the one to paddle out for.
Other than that, the rest of the 16-day window is a grind. Small, weak, and mostly blown out. You’ll be waiting for that Saturday morning window.
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.
