The Lowdown
Yo, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with ya – Flagler Pier is lookin' pretty flat and sad for the next 16 days. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The forecast starts on Friday, July 17th, and right from the get-go, it’s a tough one. The water’s sittin' at a warm 83°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s normal.
The first week is a total write-off. The swell is tiny, hardly ever cracking 1 ft, and the wind is mostly cross-off or cross-shore, which is okay, but with no push behind it, it’s just a flat, glassy lake. The combined energy is laughable, mostly in the single digits or low teens (9-25). For a beach/pier setup like this, you need some juice. We get a little bump of energy on Monday afternoon, July 20th, with a 4 ft SE swell, but the period is a shocker at 4 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not a wave you can ride. It’s surfable but very ordinary.
The second week doesn’t look much better. The swell stays small, nothing over 3 ft, and the periods are short. The best chance for a surfable wave might be on Friday, July 24th, when the combined energy jumps to 158, but it’s a 3 ft ESE swell with a moderate cross-shore that’ll chop it up. Then again on Sunday, July 26th, we see 162 energy with a 3 ft ESE swell, but again, it’s small and the wind is cross-off. It’s just not enough.
Honestly, this whole stretch is a dud. There’s no standout day, no real swell to get excited about. The water is warm, but the surf is not. For a beginner, even the 4 ft days are too small to be fun, and for anyone else, it’s just frustrating. If you’re a kite surfer, the moderate breezes on the 20th and 26th might be worth a look, but for paddle surfing, keep your board in the car. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.
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.
