The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Ormond Beach Pier.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a tough stretch for surf. We’re looking at a long, nearly two-week gap of small, weak, and choppy conditions before anything really wakes up. For the first 14 days of the forecast, the combined energy is just pitiful, barely scraping past the double digits most days, and when it does it’s still under 100. That’s ankle-to-knee high dribble at best, with a wind that just won’t play nice. Don’t even bother paddling out right now.
Water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about 1° cooler than average for the time of year – nothing wild, feels normal for mid-August.
The one light at the end of the tunnel shows up around Tuesday the 25th into Wednesday the 26th. Tuesday afternoon we get some real movement: a 4ft swell pushes in from the NE, and the combined energy finally jumps to a moderate 198. But, and it’s a big but, the wind is a cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be messy and choppy. Not a clean session.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the Wednesday morning of the 26th. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE, and the energy hits a solid 319 – the most juice we see all period. The wind is light and cross-onshore, which means it won’t be glassy, but it’s workable. This is a beach/pier setup, so a longer period swell like this (period around 8 seconds) is just okay, nothing special. Still, it’s the only window where you’ll actually get a wave under your arms. But with that size, it’s better for intermediate surfers; beginners might find it a bit too much.
Forget the rest of the week; it’s a bust. If you’re desperate, hold out for that Wednesday morning. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a long wait for a very average payoff.
Rusty.
