The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch of coast is going through a real flat spell. Ormond Beach Pier is looking at a long, quiet run with hardly any surf to speak of for the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary there.
Right now, and for the next several days, the swell is tiny – we’re talking ankle to shin-high stuff at best, with energy readings barely hitting double digits (21 to 90). The wind is a mixed bag of cross and cross-off breezes, but with waves this small, it’s just not worth paddling out. There’s a gap of poor conditions that stretches right through the first week.
We do get a tiny flicker of life on Monday, July 27th. The morning is still poor, but the afternoon sees a slight bump in energy (120) and a wave height of 3 ft from the ESE. The wind goes glassy, which is a rare treat, and the conditions are described as ‘surfable’ but very ordinary. It’s the best thing in the whole outlook, but it’s a pretty low bar. For a more experienced surfer wanting a clean, tiny wave, it might be a fun session, but beginners won’t have much to work with.
After that, from Tuesday, July 28th right through to the end of the forecast on August 4th, it’s back to the same story. Tiny, weak swell from the east and southeast, with heights mostly under 2 ft and energy readings mostly below 50. The wind does go offshore a few times, especially on the 29th and 31st of July, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. The afternoon of August 3rd shows a bit more energy (120) but with onshore wind and chop, it’s a no-go for a decent paddle.
Honestly, this is a period where the ocean is more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. The beach/pier setup, combined with the persistent small swell and cross-shore winds on many days, just doesn’t deliver for a surfer. Hang in there, forecasts can change. Until then, keep the wax on the shelf.
Rusty.

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.
