The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Flagler Pier. We've got a long stretch of small, weak waves and mostly poor conditions ahead. The first real surf, if you can call it that, shows up on August 26th, but even then it's small. From the 18th through the 25th, it's a dead zone. Negligible swell, most days running under 1.3ft, and short period slop. The wind is all over the place, but it doesn't matter much when there's no energy. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing wild.
The first faint pulse of something rideable arrives Wednesday August 26th. Morning sees a bit of clean 1.3ft swell out of the east with a long period of 16 seconds, but the combined energy is only moderate at 100. It's surfable, but just barely. The period is promising for a point break, but Flagler is a beach/pier setup, so that long period groundswell will likely make it a bit straight and tricky. Still, clean conditions with a light offshore from the SW make it the best of a bad bunch. The afternoon has a bit more size, 2ft, and a solid 15-second period, pushing the energy to 184, but the wind turns cross-shore and it loses its shine.
The standout – and I'm using that word loosely – is Thursday August 27th. The morning swell holds at 2.3ft from the east, period 13 seconds, and energy at 191. It's clean with a cross-offshore breeze. The afternoon goes up a notch: 2.3ft, 12-second period, and the energy jumps to 218, which is moderate. The wind turns clean offshore from the SW. This is your best window. It's not big, but it's the only time conditions line up to be genuinely good. Expect a few head-high sets, but don't set your alarm too early.
The rest of the run into the first days of September is a washout. Small swells, onshore winds, and choppy water. The morning of September 2nd shows a pulse of long-period 13-second east swell, but it's only 1ft and the wind is cross-shore. Not worth paddling out for.
Bottom line: if you're desperate, mark Thursday August 27th afternoon. The rest of the 16-day window, you're better off finding something else to do.

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.
