The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from right here on the sand. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are lookin' pretty flat and quiet around Flagler Pier. The surf just isn't showin' up for a proper session. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor surf conditions, so don't get your hopes up for anything spectacular.
The first real sign of life doesn't even appear until Saturday, the 22nd of August. We're talkin' about the afternoon, where the summary swell height bumps up to a measly 4 ft from the SE, but the period is a dismal 4 seconds. That's short-period, choppy stuff. The combined energy is only 65 (weak), and while the wind is offshore from the SW, the conditions are still described as "very ordinary." It's surfable, but only just. Not worth paddling out for unless you're desperate.
After that, it's back to tiny, poor surf until Wednesday, the 26th of August. The morning of the 26th looks promising. We get a glassy, calm morning with a 1.0 ft swell from the E, but check this out – the period jumps to 15 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy hits 61 (weak). The conditions are "surfable but very ordinary," but with glassy conditions, it's the best we'll see. The water temp is a warm 85°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Then on Thursday, the 27th of August, the morning looks a bit more interesting. We've got a 3 ft swell from the E with a 12-second period, giving a combined energy of 180 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, and conditions are clean. It's still "surfable but very ordinary," but it's the biggest, cleanest option in the whole run. The waves will be small and weak, but at least it'll be rideable.
The rest of the run is a total write-off. Tiny swells, onshore winds, and choppy conditions. The 28th of August morning has a similar 2 ft, 10-second swell from the E with a light offshore SW wind, but it's still just "surfable."
Honestly, the standout here is the morning of the 27th of August. It's the biggest, cleanest, and has the most energy. But even then, it's a far cry from a good session. This is a tough stretch for Flagler.
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.
