The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Flagler Pier, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s looking like a bit of a bust for the next couple of weeks. The wave energy is just gutless, and the winds are all over the place. We’re not getting a single decent window for a proper paddle.
The whole 16-day run from late July into early August is a blank. There’s no surf to get excited about. The little bumps of energy we see are tiny, with combined energy readings barely cracking 70 (that’s weak, folks). The swell is coming from the SE and E, but it’s short-period, windswell junk, mostly around 5 to 8 seconds. No push, no power.
Tuesday morning, the 21st, you’ll see some knee-high 2ft swell from the SE, but a 12 mph cross-off wind will make it messy. The water is a warm 83°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing to write home about. It’s just poor surf conditions. The afternoons are worse, with stronger cross-shore winds and lumpy chop.
The rest of the month is more of the same. We get a few mornings with light winds or even glassy conditions, like on Saturday the 25th and Monday the 3rd of August, but the swell is so small – 1ft to 2ft – that it’s barely a ripple. The combined energy stays under 60, which tells you how weak it is. Even when the wind goes offshore on the 28th, 29th, and 30th of July, with clean conditions, the swell is just too small to surf. You’d be scratching for a ride.
The setup at Flagler Pier is a beach/pier deal, so it’s exposed. But with these tiny, short-period swells and poor surf quality ratings across the board, there’s just nothing to recommend. Even the glassy mornings are a tease. For a few days there, it looks more like a flat spell for paddle surfing, though a kite surfer might get a laugh out of the light breezes. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long stretch of quiet.
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.
