Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ormond Beach Pier over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening at Ormond Beach Pier for the next couple of weeks. I'll be honest, it's a tough outlook.
The water temp is sitting at about 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. But the surf? It's dead. We're starting off on Wednesday, the 8th of July, with a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a weak 22, and while we get a light offshore wind from the SW, there's just nothing to ride. It's a flat, poor surf condition.
And that's the story for days on end. We roll through Thursday, Friday, the weekend, and all through the next week with waves barely reaching 1 to 2ft. The periods are short, mostly 8 to 9 seconds, and the energy levels are low, rarely getting over 60. Winds are often cross-shore or cross-off, and while we get a few clean mornings with light WSW winds, the swell is just missing. There is no stand-out session in this entire stretch.
The only tiny glimmer comes way down the line on Thursday morning, the 23rd of July. We see a bump up to about 3ft, but with a very short period of just 5 seconds from the SE. That's all wind-chop, poor quality, and the energy only hits 69. The wind is light from the SSE, keeping it clean, but it's described as "surfable but very ordinary conditions." That's the best we get.
For the rest of the 16 days, there is nothing to recommend for a paddle. It's one of those total flat spells. I'd say it's more interesting for a kite than a surfboard right now. Hang in there. This is Rusty, signing off.

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. Our Ormond Beach 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 (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.
Ormond Beach Pier is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Daytona Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Daytona Beach. Daytona Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
