Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you straight for Daytona Beach.
We’re staring down a 16-day forecast, and it’s a big ol’ dud. From July 5th through July 20th, there’s absolutely no surf worth mentioning—zero recommendations. The wave energy is pathetic, never getting past three digits (the highest is 79), and swell heights barely top 3 feet. It’s a long, boring stretch of nothing.
In Florida in the summer, this can happen. The ocean just shuts down. Forecasts can flip, but for now, don’t bother.
If you’re desperate, the mornings around July 8th to 10th have a light offshore breeze (SW) and clean water, but with swell at 1 to 2 feet and short 8-9 second periods, you’re looking at ankle-biters. Tuesday afternoon the 7th shows a little bump—3 feet from the SE—but it’s wind-swell trash with a 4-second period, so it’s bumpy and weak.
Water temp’s normal for the season. But really, Daytona Beach is a sandbar spot, and without any push, it’s a total flat spell. Hang tight.
Rusty, out.

Information about the Daytona Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Daytona Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Daytona Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Daytona Beach 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 (Daytona Beach) 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 Daytona Beach 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.
Daytona Beach is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Port Orange. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Port Orange. Port Orange has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
