The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the next couple of weeks at Ormond Beach Pier. Honestly, we’re looking at a long, drawn-out flat spell. There’s no real surf to speak of for the first week and a half, so if you’ve got a travel itch, you might want to scratch it somewhere else.
The water is sitting at about 81°, which is a bit colder than we’d usually expect for this time of year, but nothing too shocking.
We start off on Friday the 7th with some storm clouds around and a bumpy 4ft of east swell, but it’s short period at 8 seconds and the wind is chopping it all up from the east at 12 mph. It’s messy, and the combined energy is a moderate 171 – not worth paddling out for. This grim pattern just keeps rolling. Saturday and Sunday are the same story: small, weak swell under 3ft, cross-shore winds, and plenty of chop. The energy drops right off into the weak zone (65 and below) by Sunday.
Monday and Tuesday are even smaller, with waves barely reaching 1ft to 2ft. Tuesday the 11th morning does turn glassy, but with a combined energy of only 21, it’s a lake, not a surf. We’ve got a clean spell on Wednesday the 12th morning with a light offshore breeze, but it’s only 1ft – not worth getting wet for.
This flatness stretches all the way through to Thursday the 20th. That’s a solid gap of over a week with no worthwhile surf. The only tiny flicker of life comes on Monday the 17th morning, when a little 2ft east swell shows up with a light offshore wind and a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is 64, and it’s described as “surfable but very ordinary.” If you’re desperate for a log session, you might find a weak ankle-snapper, but don’t expect much.
The best of the whole outlook finally shows up on Thursday the 20th morning. We’ve got a clean 2ft east swell, period up to 11 seconds, and glassy conditions with the combined energy at a moderate 113. It’s small, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see, and that longer period will give the waves a bit more shape on the beach break. This is your best chance in the whole 16-day window.
Friday the 21st morning offers a similar vibe: 2ft from the NE at 8 seconds, clean offshore wind from the southwest, and combined energy of 114. Again, small but clean.
After that, Saturday the 22nd sees the wind shift offshore again, but the swell is tiny at 2ft.
So, to sum it up: there’s a whole lot of nothing for the first week and a half. If you’re hanging for a paddle, keep an eye on Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st – those are your best bets for some clean, tiny waves.
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.
Ormond Beach Pier is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Daytona Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Daytona Beach. Daytona Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
