Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ormond Beach Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for Ormond Beach Pier over the next couple of weeks.
First off, the news isn't great. We are looking at a long, flat spell ahead. The 16-day forecast window kicks off now, and right from the start, through the entire period, it’s pretty much all poor surf. There are no standouts, no hidden gems, just a whole lot of nothing to get excited about.
We kick off Sunday the 12th with a tiny 1ft ESE swell at a short 8-second period, and a SE cross-breeze making a mess of things. The combined energy is weak at just 23. The water temp is a balmy 84°, which is right about average for this time of year here. The whole first week is the same story: tiny knee-high dribblers from the ESE. Monday the 13th looks cleanest with a light WSW offshore in the morning, but the swell is only 1ft. The combined energy is barely anything at 26. It’s the same pattern through Tuesday, Wednesday, and beyond. A few windows with offshore winds pop up—like Saturday morning the 18th with a WSW breeze—but the swell is 1.0ft with only 15 of energy. That’s just not enough to push anything rideable.
You’ll see some more WNW and SSW offshores through the second week, but the swell refuses to show up. We’re looking at the same 1.0ft to 1ft ESE slop with periods stuck on 7 or 8 seconds. Even the days with clean conditions like Tuesday the 21st or Wednesday the 22nd are a no-go with combined energy in the teens and single digits. The last few days of July into the 27th look even smaller, dropping to 0.7ft with energy barely cracking 10.
This is one of those blank runs where you just have to wait for a better system to roll in. For kite surfers, the stronger SE breezes later in the period might offer something, but for paddle surfing, it's a tough stretch. Forecasts change, so keep an eye out, but for now, don't bother waxing up.
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.
