The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for this spot.
We’re looking at Bicentenial Park, a reef break suited for beginners, but you gotta know it’s inconsistent and you’ll always have company. The water’s sitting at a warm 84°F, which is dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The swell comes from the east, and this spot likes it from the east, so that lines up.
The first week is lean. Real lean. Tiny waves, combined swell energy readings mostly in the teens and twenties – that’s weak stuff. The winds are actually alright some mornings, glassy on the 25th and 29th of August, but the waves are way too small to surf. The reports keep saying “poor surf conditions,” and I can’t argue with that.
You get a little bump on the 28th of August morning, with 0.4m (1ft) and combined energy at 44, but it’s still ordinary. The 1st of September morning sees a longer period of 15 seconds and energy at 91, but only 0.4m (1ft). The afternoons are ruined by a moderate cross-onshore chop, so forget those.
The best chance for a wave is the morning of the 3rd of September. We get 0.8m (3ft) from the east, 12-second period, and combined energy hits 169 – that’s moderate energy, the best of the entire run. Winds are light and clean. That’s your pick. The 4th of September morning is also glassy with 0.7m (2ft), so that’s a solid second option.
After that, it drops back into small, weak conditions through the second week. Not much happening. If you’re determined, hit the mornings of the 28th of August, 1st, 3rd, and 4th of September with a longboard. Anything over 3 feet is just not in the cards.
Rusty.

Information about the Bicentenial Park Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bicentenial Park provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bicentenial Park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bicentenial Park surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Bicentenial Park) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Bicentenial Park may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Bicentenial Park is 6 km (4 miles) from the city of Ormond Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ormond Beach. Ormond Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
