The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the stretch ahead for Flagler Pier. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough one. We’ve got a long, flat spell on our hands.
The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for any real surfing. From now until the very end of August, we’re staring down a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, coming from the east. The energy is weak, barely registering. That’s just not enough to get a wave worth paddling for. You’ll see some clean conditions with light offshore or glassy winds on the mornings of the 26th, 27th, and 29th, but with no swell to push, it’s a lake. The afternoons get chopped up by a stiff sea breeze (15 mph), which just makes it worse.
We’ll stay in a slump through the first few days of September. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell stays under 2 ft. It’s not until Wednesday the 2nd of September that we finally see something change. The swell bumps up to 2 ft from the east, with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore. That’s the first time the numbers look like they’re trying. The water temp is sitting at 85°F, which is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a wetsuit.
But then it gets messy again. By Thursday the 3rd, the wind swings onshore from the northeast at 12-15 mph, and the surf quality drops right back into the bin. The following days are a write-off with onshore winds and even smaller swell.
So, the only flicker of hope in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd. That 2 ft of east swell with a 11-second period under light, clean winds is your best bet. It’s the closest thing to a surfable wave we’ll see. For a spot like Flagler Pier, a beach/pier break that’s exposed to the northeast, this is about as good as it gets in this flat spell. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only game in town. Just know it’s going to be small, and the crowds are likely – this spot is “often” busy.
After that, it’s back to the waiting game. The forecast can change, but right now, this is a long flat patch.
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.

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.
