The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a flat spell for Ormond Beach Pier. There’s no surf worth paddling out for in the entire 16-day window. Don’t even bother waxing up.
The water’s sitting at 83°F, which is pretty much average for the time of year, so nothing weird there. But that’s about the only thing going for us.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing. From Wednesday the 15th right through to the end of the month, every single day shows poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.7ft to 3ft at best, and that’s on the rare afternoon of Saturday the 18th with a 3ft bump from the SE. But the period is a pathetic 4 seconds, so it’s just wind slop. Combined energy barely hits 45 (moderate) on that Monday, but the rest of the time it’s weak – single or low double digits.
The winds are a mixed bag. There are a few glassy mornings – like Friday the 17th, Saturday the 24th, and Wednesday the 22nd – but with no swell to work with, glassy conditions just mean flat water. A few offshore mornings pop up, like Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th, but again, the swell is too small and short-period to do anything.
This is a beach/pier setup, so it’s exposed, but with no energy, exposure doesn’t mean a thing. Crowds are listed as “often,” but honestly, nobody’s going to be out there. It’s a full-on blank run. For this area, that’s not too unusual – forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard no.
If you’re into kitesurfing, the afternoon seabreezes on the 18th (3ft, 4-seconds) and the 20th (3ft, 4-seconds) might give you something to play with, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a write-off.
Rusty.

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.
