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.
