The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story, different numbers.
So Main Street Pier, for the next sixteen days starting Tuesday, July 14th – it’s mostly flat and not much to get excited about. We start with tiny waves, around 0.3 to 0.6 feet, from the ESE with an 8-second period. That’s short-period chop. Combined swell energy is only 17 – that’s weak energy. Light cross-offshore winds Tuesday morning will make it clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Wednesday the 15th – poor. Thursday and Friday – same deal. Friday the 17th morning goes glassy in the calm air, but still only 0.2 feet of E swell. Not happening.
Saturday the 18th has a chance with light SSW offshore winds at 3 mph in the morning, 0.3 feet of ESE swell, clean but tiny. Afternoon bumps to 0.7 feet but period drops to 4 seconds – junk. Combined energy at 32.
Sunday the 19th – 0.4 feet SE swell with SSW glass offshore in the morning at 3 mph. Clean, but it’s thin. That pattern just repeats.
We get a few morning windows over the following days where the winds go offshore or glassy – like the 22nd and 23rd – but the swell stays under 0.5 feet. Combined energy stays below 30 most days.
Then Monday the 27th of July picks up a little. Morning clean and glassy with SW wind at 3 mph, 0.6 feet of E swell at 8 seconds. Combined energy hits 49. The afternoon has 0.9 feet ESE swell, 8 seconds and combined energy of 135 – that’s moderate energy for the first time. Problem is the wind turns cross-onshore at 9 mph, making it choppy.
Tuesday the 28th brings another window: 0.6 feet E swell at 9 seconds in the morning with light W wind at 3 mph. Combined energy 55. The afternoon gets to 0.9 feet ESE, 9 seconds, combined energy 161 – the most grunt we see the whole period – but the wind picks up to 16 mph with risk of thunderstorms.
Water temp is 28°, 0.7° cooler than average for this time of year so nothing wild.
No standout day or break to recommend. Swell never reaches even 2 feet properly, and the period stays short. This is small-craft-level surf, not worth the drive. The constant SE winds in the afternoons make it more tempting for kite gear than a regular surfboard.
It’s a long dry spell, but we get runs like this – not abnormal for the area. Forecasts can change, so it’s not all doom and gloom, but for now, I’d keep the board in the car and the expectations low.
Rusty.

Information about the Main Street Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Main Street Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Main Street Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Main Street Pier 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 (Main Street Pier) 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 Main Street Pier 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.
Main Street Pier is 3 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.
