The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we’ve got coming up for Ormond Beach Pier. I gotta level with you – this is a rough patch. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch with almost no surf to get excited about.
We get a little bump of energy on Wednesday the 2nd, with the combined energy hitting around (110), but that’s with a cross-onshore wind and a weak, short-period 0.7m east swell. It’s not going to be any good. The water temp here is 81°, which is about two and a half degrees cooler than normal for the time of year, so it’s a bit colder than you’d expect for early September.
The entire first week is pretty much a bust. There are a couple of glassy mornings – Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th – but the swell is tiny, barely 1 foot. It’s flat, plain and simple. Even when we get clean offshore wind on the morning of Thursday the 10th, the swell is just too weak to do anything with.
The only faint glimmer of hope is on Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning shows a clean, cross-offshore breeze and a small 2-foot northeast windswell. The period is short, only 6 seconds, so it’ll be weak and a bit bumpy, but the forecast actually calls it "surfable." For a run this empty, that’s the closest we get to a highlight. The combined energy is still low (52), so if you’re really jonesing for a paddle, that’s your chance. Just don’t expect any quality.
Honestly, this is a classic Florida summer flat spell. It’s quiet, it’s frustrating, and forecasts can always change, but for now, I’d say leave the board at home.
