Flagler Beach Pier Surf Guide
Heading south from St. Augustine, you'll pass Marineland before entering Frieda Zamba and Will Tant's home of Flagler Beach, a relaxed beach town with one true break, the Flagler Beach Pier. Crowds aren't too bad, and if you show some respect, you'll be welcome. Act like an idiot, get treated like an idiot. The break here changes with the seasons but is fairly easy to read when you pull up.
Local Vibe
Low key.
Crowd Factor
Nothing in winter, but can be crowded in summer.
Spot Rating
Sort of off the radar spot but this place gets good. Lots of options - shorebreak, outside, just depends on the tide.
Shoulder Burn
Easy when it's small. Solid paddle on a bigger swell breaking outside.
Water Quality
Clean water for the most part but can get murky.
Hazards
Pilings and the sharks that like pilings.
Access
Park right in front.
Bottom
Sand
Best Season
Fall-Spring, Hurricane
