The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, dry run with no real surf to speak of. The first solid recommendation doesn’t show up until Tuesday, August 4th, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. Before that, from now through Monday, August 3rd, it’s just flat, blown-out, or too small to bother with. We’re talking a solid week of nothing.
The only spot that even gets a mention is Main Street Pier. It’s a beach and pier setup, exposed to the east, and it just doesn’t have any energy. The water is about 81°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit.
The best we get is on Tuesday, August 4th. The morning shows a tiny 2 ft swell from the east-southeast, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 58. The wind is glassy, which is a positive, and that’s the only window that qualifies as surfable, but it’s still described as "very ordinary conditions." The afternoon gets choppy again. The rest of the week stays tiny, under 2 ft, with poor to moderate winds and messy conditions.
Into the second week, from August 5th to the 10th, it’s the same story. Tiny swells, mostly 1 ft to 2 ft, with short periods and weak energy. The wind does go clean and offshore on a few mornings, but there’s simply no power in the water to make it worthwhile. August 10th sees a slight shift in swell direction to the northeast with a period of 9 seconds, but the height is still only 1 ft.
This is a real quiet period for the pier. Because the swell is so small and weak, and the break is a beach setup, this is one of those times where the ocean looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There’s just not enough to get excited about. Hang tight, and remember, forecasts can change.
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.
