Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flagler Pier over the next 16 days.
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Flagler Pier is a flat spell, no two ways about it. There’s nothing in the 16-day window that I’d call a proper surf. The whole run is a write-off for anyone chasing a decent wave.
We start on Friday the 10th of July and it’s tiny. The swell is a weak 2ft from the ESE with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 63. That’s not enough to get excited about. The wind is a cross-shore SE breeze at 16 mph, which just messes up what little texture there is. Water temp is sitting at 84°, which is pretty average for the time of year – no real anomaly there.
Saturday the 11th is even smaller. The morning is glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft – honestly, it’s a lake. The afternoon picks up a little to 2ft, but same short period and cross-shore wind. Sunday the 12th through to the middle of the week is all the same story: flat, weak, and uninspiring. Swells rarely top 1ft, all around 7-8 seconds, and the combined energy stays in the low teens to thirties. Mornings are glassy, but there’s just no push.
By the 18th of July, we get a tiny 3ft spike on Saturday afternoon, but it’s a choppy 4-second windswell from the SE – that’s a waste of time. The 24th of July shows a 4ft SE swell with a 5-second period in the afternoon, and the combined energy hits 91, which is still weak. The wind is cross-offshore, but the period is so short you’d be paddling for nothing.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of the 25th of July. The swell is 3ft from the SE, period 5 seconds, combined energy 70, and the wind is light cross-offshore. It’s described as “surfable but very ordinary”. That’s the best of the bunch, and it’s still not worth a trip. The break is a beach/pier setup, exposed to the NE, and it’s fairly consistent, but when the swell is this weak, that doesn’t mean a thing. Crowds are often around, but honestly, there won’t be much to crowd for.
If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoons with a cross-shore breeze and a bit of bump might be more interesting than paddling out. For the rest of us, it’s a long flat spell. This area tends to go quiet like this, so don’t be too surprised. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
Stay tuned, 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.
