The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we’ve got cookin’ off Ormond Beach Pier. I’ll be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one to swallow. We’re looking at a classic Florida flat spell setting in, and it’s going to be a long one.
The water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least the water’s warm if you fancy a paddle.
For the next two weeks, the story is the same, day after day: tiny, weak swell and poor surf conditions. The first day with any real hope doesn't roll around until Thursday morning, July 23rd, but even then, we're talking a tiny 2ft easterly windswell with a short 8-second period. The wind is light and cross-shore, but the combined wave energy is a measly 35. It’s just not enough to push a decent wave. That trend continues through the end of July and into the first week of August. The swell height barely nudges above 2ft, and the period stays short, mostly around 8 seconds.
There’s a long stretch here with absolutely nothing to recommend. From July 23rd right through to August 7th, every single session is rated as poor. The winds vary from clean offshore to choppy cross-onshore, but it doesn’t matter – there’s just no swell to work with. For the most part, the combined swell energy stays below 100, often in the teens or twenties, which is about as weak as it gets. The only slight pulse we see is on the afternoon of August 7th, where the swell picks up to 3ft from the ESE, and the energy climbs to 132. That’s the best in the whole run, but it’s still just a short-period windswell (7 seconds) with a cross-onshore breeze. It’ll be choppy and lumpy at the break.
If you’re a kite surfer, that bump in wind and chop on August 7th afternoon might look more interesting than it does for a paddle surfer. For us, this is a 16-day blank run. The break is a beach and pier setup, and it’s fairly consistent here normally, so this flat spell is a bit of a surprise, but sometimes the ocean just takes a nap. Grab the longboard or the fishing rod, because there’s nothing worth paddling out for.
Rusty.
