The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. The next couple of weeks are looking bleak, plain and simple. There’s a big stretch of nothing on the board, with tiny, weak surf and no real push behind it. You're looking at a multi-day gap where there's just no reason to even grab your board.
The only faint heartbeat in the first week is on the morning of Wednesday the 19th. We’ve got a clean 2ft of east swell, light offshore wind, and the water’s a warm 84°, which is about normal for this time of year. It’s technically surfable, but that’s about it. The energy is a weak 51, so you’ll be on a longboard, scratching for any little bump you can find. It's not a winner, just a chance to get wet.
The mornings are your only hope, as the afternoons are consistently blown out by a moderate sea breeze that chops up the surface. But with waves barely reaching 1ft, it’s hard to get excited about anything.
We finally see a slight pulse late in the month. On the morning of Thursday the 27th, the swell bumps up a touch to 1ft with a longer 12-second period, and combined energy jumps to 78. Still weak, but a definite improvement. Then Friday the 28th brings 2ft of swell at 10 seconds with clean morning conditions. Again, not big, but there’s a little more push and the period is getting better. The energy is at 78, which is at the top of the weak range.
Just remember that the longer period swell on the 27th might be breaking a bit shifty with the afternoon onshores kicking up. The mornings will be your best bet.
So, bottom line: it's poor. There are no real standouts, just a couple of 'maybe' mornings. The one that looks slightly better is Friday the 28th, with the slightly bigger swell and clean conditions, but it's a week away and nothing is guaranteed. Keep your hopes low, and you won't be disappointed.

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.
