Table - best surf conditions forecast for Daytona Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at the waves for the next couple weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a proper flat spell.
The first few days are a total bust. From Thursday the 9th through Monday the 13th, there's absolutely nothin' worth talkin' about. We're talkin' waves under 2 feet, weak energy, and mostly crappy onshore winds. Just leave the board in the garage.
Tuesday the 14th is the only blip on the radar. Overnight into Tuesday morning, we get a pulse of swell from the NNE at about 3-4 feet. The period is short, around 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit jumbled, but with glassy conditions, it's the closest we get to anything rideable at Daytona Beach (Daytona-Beach). The combined energy hits 201, which is moderate, so there'll be a little push. Water temp is about 84°F, which is normal for this time of year. Still, it’s a beginner-friendly wave and nothing to get stoked on.
That little window closes fast. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind turns onshore, and from the 15th through the 24th, it's a long, sad run of tiny, crummy swell. The waves rarely hit 2 feet, and the wind is mostly rubbish. The combined energy is pathetic, rarely getting into triple digits. This kind of setup looks way more fun for a kite than a surfboard.
There’s no standout session, no secret bank to hunt for. It’s just one of those long, flat summer runs. When it’s this quiet for this long, it’s just how it goes around here. We wait.
Rusty.

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.
