The Lowdown
Listen up, folks. Rusty here with the straight talk. This 16-day run is lean. We’ve got a long gap of nothing at the start, so don’t rush to the water.
Let’s talk about Ormond Beach Pier. For the first week, from Sunday, July 19th, through Saturday, July 26th, it’s a total flat spell. The swell is tiny, from 0.3 ft to 3 ft, coming out of the SE or ESE, with periods between 4 and 8 seconds – that’s weak, short-period slop. Combined wave energy is pathetic, mostly in the low double-digits. Winds are cross or cross-off, chopping up anything that might form. There’s a couple glassy mornings on the 22nd and 23rd, but with waves that size, it’s just a mirror. Water temp is a warm 83°F, which is about average for the season.
We finally get a pulse on Wednesday morning, July 29th. The forecast shows a bump to 3 ft from the ENE, with a period of 6 seconds (energy 55). The wind goes SW at 9 mph, giving us a clean, offshore texture. It’s not a bomb, but it’s the first real surf in a week. This is a beach/pier spot, so it’s wide open. The waves will be small and weak, perfect for a longboard, and that offshore wind will keep the faces clean. Crowds can be an issue sometimes, but with these mellow conditions, it should be pretty quiet.
From July 30th all the way through Monday, August 3rd, it’s back to nothing but tiny 0.7 ft to 2 ft junk. The second week is a complete washout.
Bottom line: Wednesday morning, July 29th at Ormond Beach Pier is your only real window. It’s a small, clean day after a long flat spell. That’s your shot.
Rusty.
