Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ormond Beach Pier over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Well, I’ve looked over the charts for Ormond Beach Pier and, mate, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead. For the next 16 days, the surf is looking pretty lifeless. There isn’t a single standout session in the whole window; every single forecasted period is tagged as poor surf conditions, so I can’t point you to any real winner. The combined energy of all swells directed here is consistently weak, mostly sitting under 100 (ranging from 7 to 76), telling you there’s just no grunt in the water.
Starting from Saturday, July 11 through the weekend, we’ve got tiny swell around 1ft to 2ft from the ESE. The mornings are glassy with a light NNE breeze on Saturday and a glassy WSW wind on Sunday, so the water’s clean, but the waves are barely a ripple – not worth paddling out for. Afternoons get a cross-shore SE wind at 12 mph, chopping things up.
Monday July 13 morning looks clean with a light offshore SW breeze, but again, it’s only 1ft. The whole first week is a bit of a write-off – small swell, short period around 8 seconds, and a mix of cross-onshore winds making for messy conditions. By Tuesday July 14, we’re down to 1ft, and through Wednesday and Thursday, it’s the same story: weak NE or ENE swell under 2ft.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief. From Saturday July 18 onward, the swell stays tiny, mostly 0.7ft to 1ft, with a few spots getting a slight bump to 2ft or 2ft on Monday July 20 and Tuesday July 21, but those are from the NE or SE with short periods of 6-7 seconds. The wind does turn offshore from the SW or WSW for many mornings and even some afternoons – that’s clean, glassy stuff – but with next to no wave height, it’s just flat and calm. The combined energy never breaks out of the weak range.
With poor surf quality, small swell, and the setup being a beach/pier, this is really more of a kite-surfing scenario than paddle surfing on the rare breezy afternoons, but even that’s a stretch. The water temperature’s about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary. Look, it’s a blank run for sure, but this area can see these flat spells – forecasts can change, so keep an eye out. For now, leave the board at home.

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.
