Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ormond Beach Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down in feet. It’s a bleak 16-day window for the Ormond Beach Pier area. The swell is pathetic and the conditions are mostly junky. A proper dry spell.
Starting off on Thursday, the 9th of July. Water’s the usual temp for this time of year. The surf? Forget it. We’re talking a weak, shin-high swell from the ESE with a stormy cross-wind. Not a wave to be had.
Friday and Saturday the 10th and 11th are the same sad story. Waves are ankle to shin-high, with a short, weak period. There are a few clean windows – Friday morning with a light cross-shore, Saturday morning nearly glassy – but there’s just no push. You’d be floating.
Sunday the 12th morning has a light offshore, but it’s tiny. The afternoon turns onshore and bumpy. Lake conditions.
Monday the 13th morning is clean with a light offshore, but still only shin-high. Tuesday the 14th morning is dead glassy with a 1ft ripple. Not surf.
Mid-week brings a slight bump. On Wednesday the 15th afternoon we see a 3ft swell from the SE, but the period is a shocking 4 seconds. It’s a choppy, messy cross-onshore windswell. Then Thursday the 16th afternoon shows a 4ft SE swell, again with a terrible 4 second period. It’s a washing machine. That’s the biggest size of the whole 16 days, and it’s rubbish.
The rest of the second week is the same. The 19th of July has a clean offshore, but the waves top out at 2ft. The 20th sees a 3ft swell, but it’s messy. Every single session in the forecast gets a zero score. No standouts. A full 16-day blank.
Your best bet is a glassy morning with no waves, perfect for a flat-water paddle. That 4ft windswell with the stronger winds on the 16th might get the kite boarders stoked, but for a surfboard? Don’t bother. This is one of those runs where the forecasts need to change, and fast.

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.
