The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and let me tell you straight – the next couple of weeks at Flagler Pier look pretty flat. I've scanned the whole 16-day window and, honestly, there's just nothing happening that's worth getting excited about. The first real chance of a wave, and I use the term loosely, doesn't show up until Thursday morning, September 10th, but even that's a long shot.
For the whole run, the swell is tiny. We're looking at a lot of 0.7ft to 2ft, with the biggest blip being a 4ft push from the NE on Wednesday morning, September 9th. Even that is pretty gutless, with a combined swell energy of just 172 (moderate) and a short, weak period of 8 seconds. That's not a wave you can really do much with. The wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which just chops up what little ripple there is.
The only morning that even flirts with being rideable is Thursday, September 10th. The wind goes glassy from the S, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the ENE, with a combined energy of 103 (moderate). The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I gotta agree. It's the best of a bad bunch, but that's like saying the best day in a heatwave is the one with a breeze. You might get some little knee-high dribblers, but don't expect much.
The water temp is a balmy 82°F, which is about 2°F cooler than average for this time of year, so pretty standard for early September. The crowds at Flagler Pier are often thick, but honestly, with waves this small, I doubt many will bother paddling out.
After that tiny window on the 10th, we're straight back to flat, poor conditions. There are long stretches, days on end, where there is nothing to recommend. The swell barely cracks 2ft for the rest of the outlook. For a beach setup like Flagler Pier, this kind of blank run is more normal than you'd hope. It tends to be a bit of a gamble this time of year, and we've drawn the short straw.
So, in short, there's no standout, no hidden gem. Keep your board in the car and your eyes on the forecast, because it can change, but right now? Don't hold your breath.

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.
