The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Look, this is a dry spell. There’s hardly any surf to speak of across the whole stretch. The only spot we’ve got is Ormond Beach Pier, and it’s the same tiny waves every day. The water is warm, about 85°, which is par for the course around here.
Starting on Friday the 21st, we’ve got ankle-high waves at 1ft from the east, with a short 8-second period. The energy is basically nothing (16). Sure, Friday morning is glassy, but there’s no wave to surf. That’s the story. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are the same game: 0.7ft to 0.7ft, with cleaner winds on Sunday morning and a longer 13-second period on the tiny swell, but it’s still flat.
The whole first week is a bust. From Monday the 24th through to Thursday the 28th morning, it’s all 0.7ft to 1ft of weak, short-period east swell. The energy barely hits the 20s or 30s. The wind lays down glassy or clean a few mornings, but there’s nothing to ride. The only real highlight is Friday the 28th morning – dead calm, glassy, with a 1ft east swell, a 10-second period, and energy finally hitting 50. The report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That’s the best we get, and it’s not saying much.
After that, it’s back to the same. Saturday the 29th to Monday the 31st, and right into the first week of September, we’re stuck with 1ft to 2ft of short-period, weak easterly junk. The wind is often cross or cross-onshore, and the energy stays low, rarely cracking 50. By Thursday the 3rd of September and Friday the 4th, we’re back to 1ft, with a few glassy mornings but no push.
If you’ve got a kite, the bumpy afternoons might be something, but for a surfboard? Nothing. This 16-day window is a long, flat gap. Hang in there.

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.
