Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ormond Beach Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, this is gonna be a tough stretch. We’ve got a lot of small, weak conditions ahead, so don’t expect too much.
The first real look comes up on Thursday morning, July 9th. Ormond Beach Pier (United States) has a tiny 2 ft swell sliding in from the ESE with a short period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 50, so it’s really not got any punch. The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is spot on average for the time of year, nothing weird there. The good news is the wind is glassy – WSW at 3 mph – so the surface will be clean as a whistle. But honestly, the waves are small and the energy is low, so it’s barely surfable.
From there, it goes downhill fast. Thursday afternoon picks up a cross-shore wind at 16 mph from the SE, churning things up. Friday through Sunday morning (July 10th to 12th) are all small, ranging from 1.0 ft to 1 ft with weak energy (18-33), so it’s basically a flat spell. The winds are mostly cross-off or light offshore, so it’s clean but there’s just no swell to work with. That’s three days of no good surf.
Then, things get a bit interesting. On Tuesday morning, July 14th, we get a spike. A 4 ft swell from the NNE, but the period is short at 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to 201, so there’s some moderate power in the water. The wind is glassy again – calm, 0 km/h from the SW – so conditions will be perfect, clean glass. This is the standout of the whole run. The swell is a bit small for real power, but with no wind and that energy, it’s the best we’ve got. The break is a beach/pier setup, so it should be fun for intermediates and beginners alike, but it may get a bit crowded as the crowds are listed as "often" here.
Tuesday afternoon fades to 3 ft with a cross-onshore wind, and Wednesday (July 15th) is onshore and messy. After that, from Thursday July 16th all the way through to Thursday July 24th, we’re looking at tiny waves – 1.0 ft to 2 ft – with weak energy (most under 100) and a lot of cross or onshore winds. There are a few mornings with clean offshore breezes (like July 20th, 21st, and 22nd) but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The period is often 8 seconds or less, so there’s no real power.
So, overall, there is one real stand-out: Tuesday morning, July 14th. That’s your best bet. Glassy, clean, and a little bit of bump from the NNE. The rest is a long, flat run with some clean but tiny days. For the second week stuff (July 17th onwards), it’s looking even weaker, so don’t hold your breath.
Rusty out.

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.
