The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Flagler Pier.
It’s looking real flat for a good while. We’re talking a solid stretch of nothing, with tiny, weak waves that just aren’t worth the paddle. From Friday, July 17, all the way through the next week, it’s pretty much a write-off. Swell heights are running 0.7ft to 1.3ft, with periods so short there’s no push. The combined energy is mostly in the single digits or low teens, so there’s barely any juice in the water. The water temp is 82.8°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
There are a couple of moments that might get you out of the water. On Thursday afternoon, July 23, we see a little bump to 2.6ft from the SE, with a combined energy of 102—that’s at least moderate. It’s clean, but the report says “very ordinary.” The best thing we’ve got in the whole 16 days is Wednesday afternoon, July 29. We’re looking at 2.3ft from the ESE, a 9-second period, and glassy conditions with a combined energy of 125. That’s the biggest window of energy, and with glassy water, it’ll be smooth. But still, it’s small and nothing to write home about. For Flagler Pier, it’s a long, quiet wait for a very average wave.

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.
