The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Bicentenial Park over the next 16 days.
Honestly, this is a rough run. We’re looking at a long stretch of mostly poor conditions, with a few brief windows where it might be worth a paddle, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. There’s a big gap at the start with no real surf on offer, and it takes a while before anything even gets close to surfable.
The first proper chance you get is on Friday morning, 11th September. The swell is tiny, only 1 ft from the ESE with a period of about 8 seconds, and the energy is weak, around 43. But the wind is glassy, WSW at 3 mph, so it’ll be clean. It’s a beginner-friendly reef break, but it’s inconsistent and always crowded, so you’ll have company for those dribblers. The water’s warm at 83°, pretty normal for this time of year.
Saturday morning, 12th September, is similar – 1 ft, clean with a light cross-offshore breeze – but it’s still tiny. The next real mention is Wednesday morning, 16th September. The swell picks up a bit to 2 ft from the NE, period 7 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean. The energy is still low, around 56, but it’s a step up. Thursday morning, 17th September, is similar with 3 ft from the NE and a light offshore breeze, energy at 66.
Then we hit another dry spell until Monday morning, 21st September. That’s the one true standout in the whole run. The swell hits 4 ft from the ENE, period 7 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the E at 3 mph. The energy is moderate at 143, so there’s a bit more punch. For a beginner reef break, this is about as good as it gets in this window. Clean conditions, small but rideable waves. It’s still inconsistent and always crowded, so expect a lineup. The morning is your best bet.
Tuesday morning, 22nd September, sees the biggest swell of the period at 5 ft from the E, but the period drops to 6 seconds, and the wind is onshore from the ENE. The energy jumps to 265, which is solid, but the onshore wind will mess it up, making it a marginal call at best.
So, overall, don’t get your hopes up. The 21st is the only day that really stands out. The rest is a lot of waiting and hoping for a change. Forecasts can shift, but for now, it’s a lean spell.
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.
