The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf ahead, with only a tiny glimmer of something surfable way down the line.

The pattern is flat and unexciting. From now through mid-August, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly working against us. There’s a big gap of nothing happening. For the first 14 days, the surf is just too small and weak to bother with. The combined wave energy barely gets into double digits most days, and when it does push up a little around the 8th of August, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, ruining any chance of a clean wave. You’re looking at knee-high wobblers with a 6-7 second period, which is just wind chop, not real swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so that’s not your problem.

The only real standout, and I’m saying this with a heavy heart, is the Sunday afternoon of the 16th of August at Ormond Beach Pier. It’s not much, but it’s all we’ve got. We’ll see a tiny bump in energy, with a combined swell energy of 52 – that’s still weak, but it’s the highest we’ll see. The swell is from the ESE at waist-high 2 ft, with a period of 7 seconds, so it’s short-period and weak. The wind turns cross-off from the SSW at 15 km/h, which will keep the surface clean. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and I’d agree. It’s a 1 out of 10, but it’s the only one. The break is a beach/pier setup, exposed to the NE, and the optimum swell is from the NE, so this ESE swell is a bit off-angle. Crowds are often here, so expect company for some small, weak rollers.

For the rest of the run, don’t bother. The 14th and 15th have clean offshore winds, but the swell is a pathetic 0.6 ft to 1 ft with a period of 4-5 seconds. That’s not surfable. The whole 16-day window is a blank run for decent waves. It’s one of those times where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
