The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this stretch ain't looking like much. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We're looking at tiny, weak swells and mostly poor conditions day after day. The combined energy barely nudges into the double digits most of the time, and when it does hit three digits, it's still only a weak to moderate energy at best (like 121 to 144). The water temp at Ormond Beach Pier is sitting at 85°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance to even paddle out doesn't come until Friday morning, August 28th, and even then it's a letdown. The swell is only 2ft from the East, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 58. The wind is light offshore from the SW, keeping things clean, but the waves are just ordinary. Then Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th mornings offer similar scraps—1ft to 1ft swells, glassy or light offshore wind, but still nothing to get excited about. The energy is still weak, in the 50s and 79 range.
After that, it's more of the same tiny, weak energy all the way through to Thursday, September 3rd. The best you can hope for is a glassy morning with a 2ft swell, but it's just not worth the drive. Honestly, this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you've got a big wind day, especially with the cross-shore and cross-onshore afternoons. For now, the forecast is a bust. These flat runs happen, but it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.
