The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Looking at the forecast for Flagler Pier, and I gotta be straight with you, it’s a tough one. We’ve got a solid stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions ahead. The swell window is mostly pretty empty, and when there is something, it’s short-period and chopped up by cross-shore winds.
Right now, through the 16th, forget about it. We’re looking at ankle to knee-high slop, with the occasional 3ft pulse that’s breaking straight and getting blown out. Morning glass-offs on the 11th and 12th are clean, but the swell is basically non-existent in that 1ft to 2ft range. That’s not surfing, that’s floating.
The period from the 17th to the 19th is a bit of a lull, real small, with the only consistent thing being the lack of any push. But then, heading into the 20th, there’s a little glimmer. There’s a small pulse of 3ft to 3ft from the NNE that shows up on Sunday. The morning session on the 20th looks like the pick of this whole run. If the wind stays glassy, that 8 second period swell might just make some fun little peaks. It’s not going to be epic, but for a beach break that’s been starving, it could be worth a shuffle out.
After that, it backs off and goes messy again through the 21st to the 24th. There’s some windswell but the period drops to 6 or 7 seconds, and the energy stays weak. The afternoon winds get fresh and sideshore, making it pretty lumpy. It’s not where you want to be with a board you care about.
Water temp is holding at 83°, right about normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a wetsuit, just a rashie for the sunburn. There are honestly no real standouts in this window. It feels like the ocean is just resting, gathering itself for something better. For now, keep the boards in the rack and the wax in the shade. Might be a better time to check the cam and do some other stuff. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
