The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get straight to it.
To be honest with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet here. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross‑shore winds, so the paddle‑in sessions are going to be few and far between. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t pop up until Thursday morning, the 10th of September.
Thursday morning, 10th September – Ormond Beach Pier (Ormond‑Beach‑Pier) – finally something to talk about. We’ve got a tiny 3‑foot swell coming out of the ENE with a short 8‑second period, and combined swell energy is moderate at best (103). The water’s running at 82°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 2°F off the average, so it’s noticeable but not crazy. The real highlight here is the wind: it’s glassy, light southerly airs, making it clean. That’s your best bet across the whole forecast. It’s still only surfable waves in very ordinary conditions, but it’s the only window where you won’t be fighting chop.
Outside of that, there’s nothing else worth paddling out for. The rest of the 16‑day run is filled with poor surf conditions, tiny swell under 2 feet, and mostly onshore or cross‑onshore breezes. The energy readings stay weak – mostly two‑digit numbers – so don’t expect any power. It’s the kind of stretch where you’d be better off checking the forecast again in a few days. Things can change.
Rusty.
