The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s cut the crap. The next two weeks are looking dead. A complete desert. We've got a whole lot of nothing on the horizon, and I mean a whole lot.
We're looking at a stretch from now until the end of the month with hardly anything rideable. The swell energy is pitiful—we're talking values down in the teens and twenties, with most days showing a combined energy of just 19 to 30. That’s not surf, that’s a pond.
The only time we see even a whisper of a pulse is around the 18th of August, Tuesday afternoon. The energy bumps up to a moderate 161, with a 2.3ft swell from the ESE at 11 seconds. But even that is "very ordinary." It's a beach break at Ormond Beach Pier, and that longer period swell will be breaking straight. You’d be scratching for a closeout, not a ride.
The water is a warm 83.7°, which is about par for the course this time of year. That’s the only thing that’s going to feel any good.
Honestly, the whole window is bleak. There's no standout, no day to circle on the calendar. If you're desperate, that Tuesday afternoon on the 18th is the only time we even give it a 1/10. Don't hold your breath.
With this gutless swell and the daily onshore afternoon breezes, the setup at this exposed beach looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. You’d be better off getting dragged around than trying to paddle for nothing.
There are persistent gaps of days with absolutely zero surf on offer. This is one of those stretches where you’re better off finding something else to do for a while.
Hang tight, because it can’t stay this flat forever.

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

If you surf the same spot (Ormond Beach 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 Ormond Beach 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.
