The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the forecast for Ormond Beach Pier. Let’s be real, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The first day with anything rideable is Friday the 4th of September, and that’s a stretch.
We kick off on the 4th with a tiny 2ft east swell, with a short period of 6 seconds. The energy is weak (52). The water is about 81°, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year. The morning has a light cross-off breeze, so it’s clean, but the afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore and storms. It’s surfable, but really ordinary.
The weekend of the 5th and 6th is a total loss. Swell drops to 1ft and then 0.7ft, energy is in the single digits. Don’t waste your time.
Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th offers some glassy mornings, but the swell is still tiny – 1ft to 2ft. The energy is still weak. On Wednesday the 9th, we see a slight bump to 2ft from the northeast, but the energy is only 87. It’s clean, but you’d be fighting for a wave.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is Saturday the 12th of September. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the east-northeast, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy climbs to 93. It’s a short-period wind swell, but the wind is light and offshore from the west, so it’ll be glassy. This is your best shot.
Sunday the 13th sees a similar size at 5ft, but the wind is cross-on, which ruins it.
From Monday the 14th on, it’s all bad news. The swell hangs around 3ft to 4ft, but the wind cranks up from the east-northeast at 15 mph, making it choppy and onshore. The energy on the 14th hits 207, which is moderate, but the wind is too strong for any decent paddle surfing. With that wind and a beach break, this setup looks more fun for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The second week from the 15th to the 19th is just small, onshore, and messy. No more windows. Your only real chance is Saturday the 12th of September, first light. Get it while you can.
Rusty.
