Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run through it in feet and miles per hour.
Well, I’m not gonna lie to ya – this is a grim 16-day outlook for Ormond Beach Pier. The whole window is pretty much a flat spell. The first real sniff of anything surfable doesn’t roll in until Saturday, July 11th, and even then, it’s barely worth mentioning.
Starting off, the first week of July is hopeless. Tiny swell, all under 2 feet, with short periods and messy wind. Friday the 3rd is a total loss. The 4th of July weekend? Flat and poor. Through to Tuesday the 7th, the mornings are glassy, but there’s no energy – the combined wave energy is stuck in the double digits (17-95). It’s a swimming pool. Water temp is about 84°, which is normal for this time of year.
The only tiny pulse comes Saturday morning, July 11th. We’re looking at a glassy, 2-foot wave from the East-Southeast, with a short 8-second period. It’s the only time the forecast calls it “surfable but very ordinary.” The combined energy is still weak (56). You might find a knee-high crumble in the morning with clean conditions. It’s not good, but it’s the only game in town. The afternoon gets trashed by a strong cross-shore wind.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak surf through the rest of the second week. Waves stay under 2 feet, periods are short, and while there are clean offshore mornings from the 12th to the 16th, the swell is too small to do anything with. You’re looking at ankle-snappers.
So, the honest truth? There’s no true standout. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of Saturday, July 11th. Glassy, small 2-foot East-Southeast swell. The break does see crowds often, but with this forecast, you’ll probably have the place to yourself.
This is one of those dry spells that just happens here sometimes. Forecasts change, so don’t lose hope entirely.
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.
Ormond Beach Pier is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Daytona Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Daytona Beach. Daytona Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
