The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here. Let’s break down what Flagler Pier has coming our way.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for surf. We’re staring at a long stretch of tiny, weak conditions. The first time we see anything that’s even close to a wave is not until Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. That means a solid gap of more than a week with nothing worth talking about. The combined swell energy is almost always in the double digits – real weak stuff.
Let’s focus on the only session that barely qualifies. On the morning of Tuesday, the 18th, a bit of long-period groundswell rolls in. The swell from the east is only 1.0ft, but it’s carrying a very long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell, but at Flagler Pier (Flagler) – a beach and pier setup – that long period can be tricky. It’ll make the waves wall up and break straight, with not much shape. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is 77. It’s a session for the patient, not for anyone looking for a real wave.
After that, it’s right back to poor conditions with tiny swell and onshore or cross-shore breezes. On Thursday morning the 20th and Friday morning the 21st, we get glassy conditions with waves around 2ft to 2ft from the east, but the period drops and the energy stays low. The quality is described as “very ordinary,” so you might log a few small ones if you’re desperate.
Bottom line: there’s nothing worth getting excited about. If you’re looking for a wave with any push or shape, you’re out of luck for the next two weeks. The sets will be far apart, and the shape will be flat and straight. This is just one of those periods where the area goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
Catch you next time.

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.
