Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flagler Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let me put it in feet and miles for ya. Flagler Pier is looking pretty flat and sleepy for the whole 16-day run. The swell energy is all in the weak category – mostly under 100 (42 down to 12), so there’s just no juice.
Water temp is about 84°F, right on average for the season, so the bath is warm.
We start Thursday July 9th with a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE, but a 30 km/h crosswind from the SE messes up the surface. Not worth it. Friday the 10th is still tiny, morning looks cleaner with a light cross-offshore breeze, but it’s still only 1ft with a short 8-second period. Saturday the 11th is 1ft to 2ft and sloppy. There’s a tiny window Sunday morning July 12th with a glassy offshore (WSW at 5 km/h) and clean water – but the swell is only 1ft and weak (22 combined energy). You might get a few on a longboard if you’re keen.
Monday the 13th morning has a light offshore again (SW 10 km/h) with clean conditions, but still 1ft. Tuesday morning July 14th is glassy, no wind at all – 1ft waves. Pretty, but flat.
Wednesday afternoon July 16th sees a bump up to 4ft from the SE, but the period is a terrible 4 seconds (windswell crap) and cross-onshore wind. Combined energy is 84 – still weak. The waves will be lumpy and messy. Not good. The rest of the run from then to July 24th stays in the 1ft to 3ft range, with occasional cleaner mornings but never enough size.
Best on offer: No real standout. The pick of a bad bunch is Tuesday morning July 14th – glassy conditions, 1ft swell from the ESE, 8-second period, combined energy just 17. You can catch some little knee-high runners on a log before the afternoon cross-chop hits. Or early Sunday morning July 19th with a gentle offshore (SW 15 km/h) and clean surface on the same 1ft swell. It’s not good surf, it’s just the least bad.
Overall, we’ve got a solid 16-day stretch of tiny, weak surf. No groundswell, no real push. It’s a good time to work on your tan or fix that ding. If you absolutely have to get wet, bring the biggest board you own.
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.
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.
