The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks look pretty bleak for Ormond Beach Pier. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing happening, so let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, there’s a real gap. From now through most of the first week, there’s basically nothing to get excited about. The first few days of September are all small, weak, and messy – cross-onshore winds and tiny swells with combined energy barely reaching 120 (moderate at best) and often way below 100. Conditions are poor, and the waves are just not worth paddling out for.
The first real blip of hope comes on Tuesday, the 8th of September. The morning glass-off with a NNE breeze at 3 mph is a gift. The swell picks up a bit to 4 ft from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 173 (moderate energy). It’s not perfect, but that glassy surface will make it clean. The catch? The wind swings onshore by the afternoon, and the swell gets choppy. It’s the only session that gets a score above zero, but honestly, it’s still just “surfable but very ordinary.” If you’re desperate, that Tuesday morning window is your best bet.
After that, it’s back to the same story. The 10th of September has a glassy morning with 2 ft from the NE and a longer 10-second period, combined energy at 94 (weak), but it’s just too small to get excited about. The rest of the week is a run of tiny waves, often under 2 ft, with clean conditions but no power. Crowds are often at the pier, so if you’re out there on those small days, you’ll have company.
The second week is no better. From the 11th through the 17th, we’re looking at ankle-to-knee high dribble with combined energy mostly in the teens or low 30s. The wind is often light or offshore, which keeps it clean, but there’s just no swell to work with. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
So, summary: there’s one standout window – Tuesday morning, the 8th of September – for a glassy, clean 4 ft NE swell. The rest of the 16-day outlook is a long, flat gap. Honestly, it’s a stretch to call it surfable. Might be a good time to tune up the gear or go for a paddle, but don’t hold your breath for waves.
Rusty.
