The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s headed our way for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty bleak picture for Ormond Beach Pier. There isn’t a single day in this whole 16-day forecast where I’d tell you to grab your board and head out with any real excitement. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, wind-affected surf ahead. The forecast doesn’t start with a bang; it starts with a whimper and pretty much stays there.
For the entire first week, from this Sunday (August 2nd) right through to next Saturday (August 8th), we’re looking at nothing but “poor surf conditions.” The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 4 ft, coming from the ESE or E. The period is short, between 7 and 8 seconds, so it’s all windswell with no punch. The combined wave energy is very weak for most of it – we see values like 22 (Sunday morning) and 65 (Friday morning), only occasionally hitting a weak three-digit number like 160 on Saturday morning. But it’s all onshore or cross-onshore wind, ruining any chance of a clean wave. The water’s sitting around 83° and that anomaly of -0.9° means it’s about average for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s average.
There’s a minor shift heading into the second week. On Monday, August 10th, the morning finally gets a “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” call, scoring a 1. We get a clean look with a light S breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 3 ft from the SE with a period of just 6 seconds and energy at 97. It’s not worth paddling out for. After that, it’s back to the same old story of tiny swells and poor conditions. The only other spot that even gets a 1 is Friday, August 14th, in the morning. A clean, 3 ft swell from the NE with a 7-second period and energy at 78. Again, tiny, weak, and boring.
Overall, there are no standouts. The only days that are even “surfable” are Monday the 10th and Friday the 14th, and both of those are small, weak, and boring. The rest is a total write-off. For an exposed beach/pier setup like this, when the swell is this small and the wind is this messy, it’s honestly a better setup for a kite surfer than for a paddle surfer. Better to wait for the next proper swell.

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.
