The Lowdown
Right then, let’s break down what we’ve got for this neck of the woods.
It’s a grim outlook, plain and simple. There’s a massive stretch of flat, crap surf ahead, and your board is likely staying in the car for the better part of two weeks. The first time you might even want to look at the ocean for a wave is Friday, September 11th, and even that’s a maybe.
From now, right through the end of August and into the first week of September, it’s a bust. At Ormond Beach Pier, the swell is puny—0.7 ft to 2 ft—with short, weak periods under 8 seconds. The wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore, tearing up the surface. The wave energy is barely registering (under 100 for most days). The water temp is about 83°, just a smidge below normal for the year, but that’s your only fun fact.
There is a little blip of energy on September 2nd and 3rd, with swell hitting 3 ft and a period up to 11 seconds, giving energy readings up to 149 (moderate). But the wind is still junk, so it’s just a choppy mess. The biggest push comes on September 9th afternoon with an energy of 154 (moderate), but it’s blowing straight onshore.
The only half-decent chance is the morning of Friday, September 11th. The wind goes glassy and light offshore from the SW at Ormond Beach Pier. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the ENE at 10 seconds, so it’s clean but puny. Energy is only 93 (weak). You’ll need a longboard. Keep in mind crowds are often here, so you won’t be alone on those small, clean waves.
Bottom line: forget the first week. If you’re desperate, that Friday the 11th morning is your only window. Then the wind swings back onshore that afternoon and it’s over.
