Flagler Beach Pier Surf Guide
On into Ormond Beach, where, right off A1A, there's another pier. Actually, the pier is gone, but sand built up around the leftover pilings creates a good break. It has fun waves, especially on south swells with a low to mid, incoming tide. Ormond is also the hometown of four-time world champion Lisa Andersen, but you're more likely to find her surfing Ponce Inlet or New Smyrna Beach when she visits.
