Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real – this whole 16-day window is a flat spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and messy winds. The only spot in the game is Ormond Beach Pier, and it’s a struggle.
From Monday the 20th through Thursday the 24th, it’s basically a bust. Waves are running 1 ft to 3 ft, with a short period of 5 to 8 seconds, so no grunt. The wind is all over the place – cross, cross-off, and sometimes onshore – making for choppy, lumpy conditions. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 100 (19 to 65 units), so you’re just paddling for nothing.
There’s a little glimmer on Friday the 24th morning with glassy conditions from the SSE, but the swell is only 2 ft from the E. It’s clean, but you’ll be scratching for a ride. Saturday the 25th morning is also glassy, again with a tiny 2 ft E swell. It’s pretty, but not much to surf.
Your best chance – and I’m being generous – comes on Sunday the 26th afternoon. We’ll see a bump up to 3 ft from the ESE, with an 8-second period, and the wind goes light WNW cross-off, cleaning it up. The combined energy hits 108 (moderate energy), so there’s a little more life. It’s still “surfable but very ordinary,” but it’s the best we’ve got.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The swell drops back to 1 ft to 2 ft for the rest of the week, with mostly offshore winds but no size. The last real chance is on Friday the 31st afternoon, when we see 2 ft from the ESE with a longer 10-second period and a gentle offshore SW wind. The energy is moderate (114 units), but it’s still small.
There’s a nasty gap of nothing from August 1st through the 4th. Morning of the 2nd has a 1 ft ESE swell, but it’s a risk of thunderstorms and weak. The rest is just onshore garbage.
Honestly, this is a blank run. If you’re desperate, Sunday the 26th afternoon or Friday the 31st afternoon are your only bets. It’s a beach/pier setup, so when the swell is this small, it’s a longboard-only kind of deal. The water temp is a warm 83°F, which is about average for this time of year.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough one.
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.
