The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for a while. To be honest, it's a pretty quiet outlook ahead. The swell windows are just not aligning for us at Ormond Beach Pier. We're looking at a solid run of small, weak surf for the better part of two weeks, with only a few moments that offer a glimmer of hope.

Right now, the water temp is sitting right where it should be for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.

Kicking off from August 10th right through to the 18th, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, and the period is short. The combined energy is weak, sitting in the low double-digits for most of that first week. The wind is all over the shop, but the biggest problem is just the lack of any real push. The best we get in that period is a tiny 1ft with glassy conditions on Tuesday morning the 11th, but with only 20 energy behind it, you're just floating around. Not worth paddling out for.

We finally see a bit of life around Wednesday morning, August 19th. The swell picks up to 2ft from the east, but the period stretches out to 12 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 102, which means there’s actually some weight behind it. The morning is glassy with a light north wind. It’s still small, but that long-period groundswell will bring clean, workable lines. The sandbars are the key here, but with the conditions so clean, it’s the most likely window to get a few. The Thursday morning the 20th is also similar, 2ft from the east with 83 energy, and glassy conditions again. I’d say those two mornings are the pick of the bunch.

Look, if you’re desperate, that Wednesday and Thursday morning are your best chance, but don’t expect much. For the rest of the time, the wind is mostly cross-shore or onshore, and the swell is just too weak. For a beach/pier setup like this, when it’s that small and weak with poor consistency, it's honestly more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. We get a little bump on the 22nd and 23rd, but the wind is messy and the direction goes funky from the NNE.

It’s a long wait. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, the first real taste of anything worth getting wet for isn’t until the 19th. Hang tight.

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.
