The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
Right now, things are pretty flat and grim around here. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. From Sunday the 30th of August right through to Saturday the 12th of September, the surf is looking poor to non-existent. That’s a solid two-week gap with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The swell stays tiny, mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and the energy is weak – we’re talking combined swell energy values mostly under 100, often in the teens and thirties. Winds are often cross or cross-onshore, and most sessions are marked as poor surf conditions.
The one faint glimmer comes on Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. Ormond Beach Pier sees a little bump up to about 3 ft from the east with a period of 11 seconds, which is a decent long-period groundswell. Combined energy jumps to 332 – that’s moderate. The wind is light and onshore from the NE though, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s the only window where the wave comment is “marginal” instead of “poor.” Still, it’s not a standout by any means – just the best of a bad bunch.
After that, we slip back into tiny waves and light offshore or glassy mornings from the 6th onwards, but the swell is just too small – around 1 ft – to make much of anything. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
Overall, if you’re desperate, maybe the morning of the 2nd of September is worth a look, but honestly, it’s a waiting game. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area when the summer pattern goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s not much to get excited about.
