The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Ormond Beach Pier.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty flat spell for the next two weeks and a half. The first real surfable day doesn’t come until Thursday the 10th, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. We’re looking at a long gap of about 4 days with nothing worth paddling out for. The water’s a bit cooler than normal for September, sitting at 82°F — not a huge deal, but a touch refreshing.
Thursday, September 10th (Morning) – Ormond Beach Pier. This is the only window that’s even surfable. We’ve got a tiny 2ft NE swell, but the wind is a light SSE cross-off, so it’s clean. The energy is weak, only 68 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s not going to be thrilling, but if you’re desperate for a longboard glide, the lack of bump might make it fun. The crowds are often here, so expect a few heads out.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, and messy. The rest of the run is plagued by small swells under 2ft, short periods, and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind. The week of the 14th sees a few glassy mornings, but the swell is non-existent. By the 19th and 20th, we get a 12-second period from the E, but it’s only 0.7ft – a ghost swell. That’s about as exciting as a flat tire.
So, the short story: Thursday the 10th is your only real shot at a clean, tiny wave. Everything else is a poor bet. It’s a bleak outlook, but that’s the coast around here sometimes. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the bag.
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.
