Flagler Beach Pier is a well-known surf spot located in the relaxed beach town of Flagler Beach, just south of St. Augustine. It's home to a single beach break which draws surfers looking for a laid-back vibe. The crowd size can vary, with winter months usually being pretty quiet while summer can draw in more surfers. Just remember, respect is key; as long as you’re cool, you’ll fit right in.
The surf here can handle a variety of swells, from around 2 feet (0.6 meters) all the way up to 12 feet (3.7 meters). The waves generally break over sand, making it a nice spot for beach breaks. You can find both lefts and rights here, depending on the conditions. The best surf happens with swell coming from the northeast to southeast, but it can also work well with other swell directions. Low to mid-tide works best, and while it’s pretty easy to paddle out when it’s small, you might need to put in some solid effort when a bigger swell rolls in. This place caters to intermediate and expert surfers, offering a range of options from shortboards to longboards and even bodyboards.
Accessing the pier is straightforward; you can park right in front of it. While the water is usually clean, keep an eye out for any obstacles, like pilings. The local vibe around here is low key, making it a chill place to surf and enjoy the beach.
