The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this 16-day look at Ormond Beach Pier is a rough one. I've combed through it, and there's just nothing to get excited about. No standouts, no hidden gem sessions. This whole stretch is a total bust.
From Saturday, September 5th, it's tiny and weak. East swell at 1ft with a short 8-second period and weak energy (20). Cross-offshore wind in the morning, but there's nothing to ride. It stays poor all week. Sunday the 6th is even smaller at 0.7ft with energy in single digits (8). We get a tiny uptick in energy mid-week on the 9th (109) with a 3ft swell from the NE, but the wind is onshore, ruining it.
Thursday morning, September 10th, the wind goes glassy and energy is moderate (59), but it's only 2ft swell with a 7-second period. Surfable, but barely. After that, it's back to poor conditions for the rest of the forecast.
For a beach and pier break like Ormond, this is kind of normal. It needs a solid push from the northeast. When the swell does show up to 3ft on the 9th and 13th (energy hitting 114), the onshore winds are blowing 15 to 25 mph, making it choppy and ugly. The period stays short, mostly 5 to 8 seconds, so the waves are weak and crumbly.
If the wind were offshore on those bigger days, it'd be a different story. But it's not. Honestly, with that much chop and short-period swell, this looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Water temp is about average for the season, but that's the only good news.
Bottom line: leave the board at home. Sometimes you just have to accept the L. Forecasts can change, but this one is a full-on dud.
