The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on offer for Flagler Pier over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the outlook is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell and mostly poor conditions. The first surf that’s even worth mentioning doesn’t show up until Tuesday, September 8th, so there’s a solid week of flat or near-flat nothingness before that. From now until then, the swell is tiny – 0.7 ft to 2 ft – with a combined energy that barely reaches 133 (moderate energy) at best, and often sits below 100 (weak energy). Winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” right through.

Flagler Pier (Flagler-Pier) is a beach/pier setup, exposed to the swell. The water is running about 81°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 3°F cooler than average. The optimum swell direction is NE, but what little energy we get is mostly from the east or southeast, which isn’t ideal.

The best bite of the whole forecast comes on Tuesday, September 8th morning. There’s a small bump of 3 ft from the NE, with a period of just 6 seconds – so short-period, weak stuff. But the wind is light from the west, giving us a clean cross-off breeze. The combined energy is a modest 66 (weak energy), and the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not going to get you barrelled, but it’s the only window where the stars align for a clean, small wave session. The crowd factor is “often” here, so expect company even on a small day.

After that, Wednesday, September 9th morning offers another glimpse – 2 ft from the NE, again with light west cross-off winds and clean conditions (energy 62). That’s your second-best option, but it’s still very ordinary.

From Thursday, September 10th onward, the swell drops back to 1.0 ft–2 ft, and winds become onshore or cross-shore again. The energy stays weak (below 60), and the wave comment is back to “poor surf conditions.” There’s nothing worth chasing in the second week.

So, the standout is the Tuesday, September 8th morning session – small, clean, and the only real chance for a paddle. Everything else is a write-off. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just doesn’t want to play ball. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking like a week of waiting.

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.
