The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the Flagler Pier stretch over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough one. The outlook is pretty flat and quiet for the whole forecast period, which runs from now through the 8th of August.
Right from the start, on Friday the 24th of July, we’ve got tiny 2ft swell from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is cross-onshore, and the wave energy is a weak 46. It’s just not doing anything. The water temperature is sittin' around 82°, which is a touch colder than usual for this time of year, but nothin’ wild. The whole first week is a struggle – we’re lookin’ at a long stretch of days with swell heights barely hittin' 2ft, and most of the time the wind is either cross-shore, onshore, or just messy. The energy readings are all in the double digits, which is weak stuff. There’s a few moments of glassy conditions on the morning of Monday the 27th, but with only 1ft of swell on tap, it’s just a flat, slick ocean.
Even the afternoons with offshore winds, like Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th, can’t save it. The swell is barely 1ft to 1ft. It’s a desert out there.
We roll into the second week, and honestly, it’s more of the same. The 1st of August through the 8th is all micro-swell: 0.6ft to 2ft, east and east-southeast, with periods that are still short. The combined energy values are all below 50. There’s a glimmer on the morning of the 5th of August with glassy conditions, but again, it’s just 1ft of swell. Not worth paddlin’ out for.
The only real “standout” – if you can call it that – is the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. We get a 12-second period from the east-northeast, which is a proper groundswell signal, but the swell height is only 0.6ft. That’s a tease. The energy is a weak 25. It’s a long-period ripple. On the 8th of August, the morning is glassy with 2ft of swell, but it’s a 4-second period – that’s windswell junk, and it’s cross-onshore in the afternoon.
Bottom line: there are no good options here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf. Flagler Pier is a beach-and-pier setup, and with this kind of anemic energy, it’s not even interesting for a kite. Sometimes the coast just shuts down, and this is one of those times. Forecasts can change, but right now, save your energy.
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.
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.
