The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf outlook for our stretch of coast. I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is one of those tough forecasts where patience is the name of the game. For the first two weeks, it’s almost a total write-off. We’ve got tiny swell, messy winds, and just a whole lot of nothing to get excited about. There’s a flicker of hope right at the very end, but you’re gonna be waiting a long time for it.

Looking at Ormond Beach Pier, the water temp is sitting right around 83°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.

Right off the bat, this Monday the 7th, the swell is tiny at 0.3m from the ESE with a weak combined energy of just 20. The morning is glassy, which is a tease, but there’s no real wave to ride. Conditions stay poor all the way through, with cross-onshore winds kicking up most afternoons. This pattern just drags on.

We get a little bump on Wednesday the 9th, with the swell hitting about 1 yards from the ENE and the combined energy climbing to 185, but it’s cross-on and messy. The period is 8 seconds, so nothing special. Still, it’s the biggest wave we see for a while. Thursday morning the 10th gives us the only “surfable” moment in the first week as winds go clean and cross-off with a 0.8m swell from the ENE, but the energy drops to just 90. It’s marginal at best.

After that, things just flatline. From Friday the 11th all the way through to Monday the 21st, we’re looking at ankle-snappers day after day—mostly 0.3m to 0.5m with weak energy readings mostly under 40. A few mornings are glassy (like Sunday the 13th, Tuesday the 15th, and Sunday the 20th), but with no swell to work with, it’s just a flat paddle.

Now, here’s the one bright spot and the only standout on offer. On Tuesday the 22nd of September, we finally see a pulse. The morning brings a 0.8m swell from the NE with a combined energy of 77, and prime conditions—glassy, no wind at all. That’s your window. The swell is from the NE, which isn't a perfect match for the optimum NE direction, but glassy conditions beat everything else in this forecast. It’ll be small and clean, great for a longboard or a funboard. By afternoon the wind turns onshore and the energy picks up to 101, but it’ll get choppy. So don’t sleep in that morning if you want the best of it.

That’s the whole story. The crowds at Ormond Beach Pier can be an issue (it says “often”), but with surf this small for two weeks straight, I doubt many people will be bothering. On the 22nd, if the wind holds, it might be worth a look.

Rusty.

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.
