The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s call it how it is: the next couple of weeks around Flagler Pier are a tough watch. Most days are flat, a lot are choppy, and there’s barely a wave worth suiting up for. Here’s the breakdown.
The forecast starts on Thursday, July 30th, and it’s a total dud. Tiny swell at 0.7 ft from the east, with a storm risk and a strong SSE wind blowing 25 mph. The combined energy is weak at 6. Not a thing to ride. Friday stays flat and weak, with clean conditions on Friday morning thanks to a light W wind at 3 mph, but the swell is only 0.3 ft. Saturday brings a tiny 0.7 ft wave with a light offshore wind in the morning, but it’s just not enough to paddle for.
Sunday, August 2nd, is the first time we see a pulse. The afternoon shows the swell picking up to 4 ft from the southeast, period 8 seconds, with a moderate WSW offshore wind at 16 mph. The energy jumps to 173, which is moderate. It’s surfable, but the conditions are described as “very ordinary.” For an intermediate surfer, it’s the only window in the near-term that’s worth a look, but it’s not a standout.
From Monday, August 3rd, all the way through to Wednesday, August 13th, it’s a long stretch of junk. Waves stay between 0.7 ft and 2 ft, with a mix of cross-off, offshore, and glassy conditions on some mornings, but the swell is weak and short-period. The energy rarely gets above 40. There’s a glassy morning on Thursday, August 6th, with a tiny 1 ft wave, and again on Saturday, August 8th, but with barely any push, you’ll be floating. This place is a beach and pier setup, exposed to the east, and the swell just isn’t showing up.
The only other slight blip comes on Friday, August 14th. The morning shows a 0.7 ft wave from the ENE with a longer 11-second period, and a light offshore SW wind at 6 mph. The energy is still weak at 23, and the wave height is tiny, but that longer period might make for a clean, peeling little wave. It’s really not much to write home about, though.
Honestly, this is a quiet stretch for Flagler. If you’re a kite surfer, that Sunday afternoon on August 2nd with 4 ft and a solid offshore wind might get you moving, but for a paddle surfer, the pickings are slim. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save the wax.

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.
