Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. I’ve got a look at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a pretty long dry spell, so manage your expectations.

We’re starting off with nothing on the cards, and it stays that way for a while. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Sunday, July 5th, but even then it's a slim one. Ormond Beach Pier is the only spot in the game, and it’s a real slow burn. The first week is basically a write-off. From Sunday the 5th all the way through to Saturday the 18th of July, the surf is consistently poor. There’s no standout day, no sneaky window. The swell never really gets going. The best we see is a fleeting 3ft wave on Tuesday afternoon, July 7th, but it’s a short-period windswell (4 seconds) coming from the SE, and the combined energy is only moderate at 53 (a weak to moderate reading). The wind is a messy cross-shore, so you’re looking at lumpy, choppy conditions. It’s more of a kite-surfing situation than a paddling one.

The mornings are the most consistent part of the outlook. Nearly every morning from the 5th to the 20th of July offers light offshore winds from the SW or even glassy conditions. The problem is the swell. It’s tiny – mostly 1.0ft to 2ft. The period is short (6-9 seconds), so there’s just no push. The waves that do show up are weak and poor shape. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a wetsuit, but you will need a lot of patience.

The only real standout, and I use that term loosely, is the morning of Monday, July 20th. It’s deep in the forecast, so don’t bet the house on it, but it’s the best we’ve got. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and the swell is a tiny 1ft from the ESE. The combined energy is low at 21. Look, it’s not going to be a barrel-fest, but if you’re desperate for a flat, clean, ankle-to-knee-high slide, this is your window. It’s a true dawn patrol score for the patient surfer.

For the rest of the fortnight, don’t expect much. The afternoons get blown out by a fresh onshore breeze, and the swell never shows any real power. You’d be better off checking the tides for a mini sandbar or finding a new hobby for a week. Stay hopeful, though – the forecast can always change.

Rusty.

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.
