The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. We’ve got a 16-day window on the board for Ormond Beach Pier, and it’s a tough one. There aren’t any moments that scream “drop everything and paddle out.” The swell energy stays weak for most of the run, and the winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, which is going to keep things lumpy. We’re looking at a long stretch with no real waves on offer, so if you’re jonesing for a surf, you might want to plan a trip elsewhere or take up fishing for a while.

The first real glimmer of anything happens a week from now, around the morning of Sunday the 16th. The wind swings around to the southwest and goes light offshore, cleaning up that small groundswell of 2ft from the ESE. It’s not big, but it’s clean. The energy is still weak, only 38, so it’s not going to be a world-beater, but it might be the best you’ll get in this entire period.

Then, that same afternoon on the 16th, the swell bumps up to 3ft from the ESE, and the energy jumps to 136, which is moderate. That’s a bit of a pulse. The catch? The wind goes back SE and it’s cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. But there’s more push in it. This is a beach/pier setup, so the longer period here (7 seconds) isn’t anything special, but there’s some life.

Fast forward another two days, on Tuesday the 18th, and we see the most interesting swell of the whole stretch. The afternoon brings 3ft of ESE swell at 9 seconds, and the energy reads 187. That’s the strongest we get. But, and it’s a big but, the wind is howling onshore from the NE. It’s going to be a messy, blown-out mess. To be honest, with that wind and the break’s exposed nature, it might be more interesting for kitesurfers than for us paddle surfers.

Everything else in between is just small, weak, and onshore or cross-shore. There are a couple of moments on the 11th and 13th mornings with glassy conditions, but the swell is puny at 1ft. A log might be your only friend there. For the most part, the wind is up in the afternoons and the waves are just too small to matter.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

So, is there a standout? Not really. The best on offer is that early morning window on the 16th of August. It’s the cleanest, most user-friendly waves we see, even if it's small. The day after, on the 17th, there’s also a morning with a light offshore W wind and a 2ft ESE swell that looks clean, but it’s still tiny. Keep your expectations low, but keep an eye on those two mornings. Beyond that, it’s a waiting game.

Signing off,
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.
