The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is – the next couple weeks are looking real flat and funky. Ormond Beach Pier is the only spot on the list, and it's not giving us much to work with. There’s no surf worth paddling out for until late in the game, around the 21st of September, and even then, the wind is gonna mess it up.
Right off the bat, Thursday the 10th, you’ve got a weak 3ft ENE swell with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is only 72 – that’s barely a bump. Wind is a light cross-shore from the SE at 6 mph, so it’s not trashed, but the waves are tiny. The water temp is 82°, which is normal for this time of year, nothing wild.
The week after is more of the same. Mornings go glassy, like on the 12th with 0.5ft waves and S wind at 3 mph, but you’re just staring at a flat ocean. Sunday the 13th morning is dead calm with a 2ft E swell (40 energy) – clean, but useless. This continues day after day, with wave heights barely reaching 2ft, and all of it tagged as “poor surf conditions.”
Finally, on the 21st of September, we see a pulse. The morning brings a 4ft NE swell, period of 6 seconds, with combined energy of 96. The wind is onshore from the NE at 9 mph, so expect bumpy, lumpy surf. By the afternoon, that wind jumps to 16 mph. The 22nd keeps the 4ft NE swell, but the energy hits 132, with onshore NE winds at 16 mph. It’s got some weight, but it’s messy.
The 23rd of September is where it gets windier. The morning sees a 4ft NE swell with 255 combined energy, but the wind is howling from the north at 25 mph, and it’s cross-onshore. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. After that, the swell fades through the 24th and 25th, dropping to 2ft to 3ft with moderate onshore winds.
So, here’s the deal: there are no good, clean surf days in this 16-day outlook. The only real swell comes at the end, but the wind wrecks it. For a beach pier like this, it’s a frustrating stretch. Hang tight, because things usually don’t stay this quiet forever.
Rusty.
