Frequently asked
Is Flagler Beach Pier working right now?
As of the latest buoy reading (2026-08-26 09:03 UTC), Flagler Beach Pier is marginal: the live 0–2 ft short-period swell from the SE is off its ideal E direction and is in its ideal size range, and the wind is calm from the W.
Is Flagler Beach Pier good for beginners?
Flagler Beach Pier tends to suit beginners at its best — the sweet spot here is small 0–2 ft surf, the most forgiving size to learn on. Conditions change daily, so always check the live report on this page before paddling out.
What's the best tide for Flagler Beach Pier?
Flagler Beach Pier tends to be best on a high outgoing tide — the tide stage LazySurfer surfers have rated highest here. Tide changes how the swell breaks, so check the two-day tide chart on this page for today's high and low times.
What swell direction is best for Flagler Beach Pier?
The best swell direction for Flagler Beach Pier is from the east (E). Swell arriving from the east lines up best with how this break faces, which is when LazySurfer surfers have rated it highest.
What's the best wind for Flagler Beach Pier?
Flagler Beach Pier is most often good with light wind from the north (N) — the wind LazySurfer surfers logged on their best-rated sessions here. Wind direction grooms or chops the wave face, so check the live report for current wind.
Where does LazySurfer's surf data for Flagler Beach Pier come from?
LazySurfer reads public data directly from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center and the National Weather Service — the nearest NDBC wave buoy (station 41070) and the nearest NOAA tide station (MAYPORT (BAR PILOT DOCK)). The same raw readings NOAA publishes, with no proprietary smoothing.
Does LazySurfer predict whether Flagler Beach Pier is good for me?
Yes. LazySurfer trains a custom deep-learning model — a PyTorch neural network with per-user embeddings, retrained weekly on real logged surf sessions from the LazySurfer community — to predict the 1-to-5 star rating you personally would give, rather than a single average rating for everyone.
