The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Flagler Pier has cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks.
So, straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this stretch is looking pretty flat and messy for the most part. We’ve got a long 16-day window ahead, but we’re lookin’ at a big gap of practically nothing for the first two weeks. The wave energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (31 to 60) through the first weekend, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, making everything choppy and unappealing. That’s a lot of days with no real reason to paddle out.
There’s a real bright spot though, way out there.
Thursday, August 20th – Flagler Pier (Flagler-Pier) is the one standout in the whole period. After all that flatness, we finally get a little pulse of life. You’re looking at a clean 0.7m (2 ft) easterly swell, with a period of 9 seconds – that’s a little groundswell energy coming through, giving the waves some shape. The combined energy finally climbs to 83, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ll see. The real magic here is the morning: glassy conditions, light wind, no chop. It’ll be a super clean session for the intermediate crew. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. This spot is exposed to the NE, and the swell is coming from the east, which is pretty close to that optimum direction. It’s a fairly consistent break, so you can bank on it working. But fair warning – crowds are often a thing here, especially when it’s the only show in town, so get out early.
The rest of the two weeks is just tiny, choppy, or onshore slop. We’ve got a few mornings with glassy conditions toward the end of the second week, like the 16th, 17th, and 18th, but the swell is miniscule – 0.3m to 0.4m (1 ft to 1 ft). You’d be on a log just to catch a ripple. The 19th morning is glassy with a 0.5m (2 ft) easterly swell pushing 9 seconds, but the energy is still weak (47). It’s a long wait for that one real day.
So if you can hold out, pencil in the morning of Thursday, August 20th. That’s our best bet. Before that, don’t bother.
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.
