Flagler Beach Web Cam

Helio-Creative-Web-Design

The inspiration for this site has always been The Surf Station out of St. Augustine. When I started the site it was only because I found their reports did not always accurately reflect conditions in Flagler Beach. So I’ve loosely adopted their format because I figure I like it – other surfers in the area might like it. Hat tip to the Surf Station. STILL DO NOT HAVE ACCURATE TIDE DATA THAT CAN BE AUTOMATED

Feed will run for 5 minutes and stop — this is to keep folks from leaving the window open all day and slowing it down for everyone — if you’re using it and the camera stops click here.

Browsers

Unfortunately until I have the time and resources to get a better solution the only option with this camera is to require a plug-in/ActiveX install for users with Internet Explorer. If you have trouble using the camera and are using Internet Explorer (There is a little “e” at the top of this window) my suggestion is to use a different browser. Round these here parts we call them “Real Browsers”. Some examples of “Real Browsers” include:

I work hard for a living — the $ for this product came out of my own pocket. Embedding it in your website without permission is stealing. Please link to FlaglerSurf.com instead of posting the actual camera on your site.

    can’t get your cam to work. Running IE8. Suggestions?

      Unfortunately in Internet Explorer the Cam requires an ActiveX PlugIn install. When you visit the page are you prompted with an install message? One thing to check is for a yellow bar at the top of your web browser that is a security message. I am working to convert the feed to a Flash stream but I have no time frame for that at this time as it will require that I move the site to a different server.

    Didn’t get the little window, but am running Windows 7 64-bit, and flash doesn’t have a product yet. That clears a lot up. Thanx

    Thank you for giving me a piece of home all the way over in Orlando! :)

    I’m a little farther away than Orlando. I check this website every day here in Wichita Kansas, 1500 miles away. Makes me homesick, but we’ll be back in about three weeks. My wife and I stayed there for 6 months last winter. Maybe this time I’ll just stay for good! I’ve been a lot of places around the country, but crossing the ICW bridge into Flagler Beach gives me a feeling of coming home.
