The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re looking at Ormond Beach Pier for the next sixteen days, and it’s a quiet spell. The swell is tiny, the energy is low, and the surf is mostly just not cooperating. There’s a gap for the first few days with no real surf to speak of, so we’re in a holding pattern.
The first real blip of interest comes on the afternoon of Sunday, August 2nd. We’ve got a bump in combined swell energy (171), which is moderate, and the swell size hits 5ft from the SE with a short period of 5 seconds. That’s a windswell, not a groundswell. The wind is offshore from the SW at 12 mph, which will keep it clean. The water temperature is a warm 82°, which is about average for the time of year, so no shock there. The setup is a beach/pier, and with that short period, it’s going to be a bit lumpy and fat, but it’s the only time the size gets anywhere worth paddling for. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. The crowd factor is listed as “often,” so you won’t be alone.
After that, the size drops back into the ankle-to-knee region for the rest of the run. There are some glassy mornings on August 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th, with offshore or calm winds, but the swell is laughably small – only 1.0ft to 2ft. The energy numbers are all in the weak range (teens and twenties). You can get a log out and catch a foam ball, but it’s not really surf. There’s a period of clean, glassy conditions around August 6th and 7th with zero wind, but the swell is just too anemic to call it a proper session.
The standout? If you’re desperate, the Sunday afternoon of August 2nd is the only window where the size touches 5ft, and with clean offshore wind, it’s the best of a bad lot. But honestly, for a beginner, that 5ft might be a bit much, and the short period makes it choppy. For the experienced crew, it’s not worth the drive. The rest of the two weeks is a flat spell with a few glassy mornings that are better for a paddle than a wave.
The forecast says the next real chance is a long way off, but this area tends to be quiet, and forecasts can change. For now, I’d save the wax.
Rusty.
