Alright crew, Rusty here. Gotta level with you – this 16-day stretch is looking like a total bust for Bicentennial Park. There’s not a single wave worth chasing.
We’re talking about a tiny, inconsistent east-facing reef that rarely breaks anyway, and the whole forecast is a flatline. The combined wave energy stays weak, barely topping 20 to 45 (45) on the best days, and the swell height never gets above 2ft. The period is short, sitting between 8 and 9 seconds, so you’re getting weak, gutless waves with no push.
The weather tries to give us a break with some glassy or light offshore mornings on July 8th, 10th, and 14th, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The wind often swings around to a strong cross-onshore from the SE, especially in the afternoons, chopping the surface to bits. Even when it’s clean, the waves are labelled “poor surf conditions” right through the end of July.
From the 6th to the 21st of July, you’re looking at a real dry spell with no surfable waves. There’s no standout, no golden hour worth the drive. The only thing that might work here is if the wind cranks up for a kite session, because for a paddle surfer, this is a complete zero.
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.
