The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's talk about the next 16 days at Ormond Beach Pier. Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—it’s a grim stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with very little to get excited about. The first real whisper of anything rideable doesn't show up until the afternoon of August 3rd, so we've got a solid gap of nearly a week of tiny, weak junk.
The whole period is dominated by small, short-period (mostly 8 seconds or less) windswell coming out of the east and southeast. The combined energy is weak, rarely cracking triple digits, staying in the 6 to 57 range for most of the forecast. That’s flat to gutless. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit.
The only day that even comes close to offering a wave is Monday, August 3rd, in the afternoon. We finally see a small bump of 3ft swell from the southeast. It’s got a gutless period of just 4 seconds, so it’ll be soft and crumbly, but it’s the biggest we get. The wind will be light and variable out of the SSE, which is a cross-offshore breeze, keeping the surface clean. The energy is still weak at 57, so don't expect any power. The crowds here are often an issue, but on a day this small, it might be just a few other desperate souls.
That’s the only game in town. A few other mornings have glassy conditions, like Tuesday, August 4th, and Wednesday, August 5th, but the swell is barely 2ft. For you beginners, even the 3ft on the 3rd is manageable, but the quality is so poor it’s hardly worth the paddle. For the experienced crew, there’s just nothing here to sink your teeth into. The whole window is a write-off for a proper paddle session.
Rusty.
