The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch for Flagler Pier is a tough one. We’re looking at a full 16-day window and honestly, the surf is just not cooperating. It’s a real flat spell.
Looking at the whole period, the swell is tiny and weak. The combined energy of all swells directed here barely reaches three digits for a couple of afternoons, with a peak of just 168 (moderate energy) on Friday the 7th of August, but even that’s poor quality. The rest of the time the energy is weak, with values mostly under 100. The swell direction is stuck out of the east and southeast, which is fine for the break’s optimum direction from the northeast, but it’s all short-period, windswell stuff – periods between 6 and 9 seconds – so there’s no real push or shape to it.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 6th of August has tiny 1ft to 2ft surf with a cross-onshore wind, making it choppy and messy. Friday the 7th sees a small bump to 4ft in the afternoon, but it’s still onshore and sloppy. The weekend is the same story – chest-high at best, but with cross-shore winds messing up the surface. The best you’ll get is maybe a glassy morning on Tuesday the 11th of August, but the swell is only 1ft – that’s barely a ripple. There’s a few clean, glassy mornings later in the second week, like on Sunday the 16th of August and Monday the 17th, but again, the swell is 1.0ft to 1ft. It’s not surfable.
Even the longer period swell that shows up around the 18th to 21st of August (9-second periods) comes with barely 2ft of height. The water temperature is around 82°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year by about 3°, but that’s the least of your worries.
There are no standouts here. Nothing even comes close. The break is fairly consistent, but the swell just isn’t showing up. The setup is a beach/pier, and with no surf and a lot of onshore wind, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Hang tight, the forecasts can change, but right now, leave your board in the car.
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.
