The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Ormond Beach Pier.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this 16-day window is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf ahead. The energy just isn't there for most of the period. From now until the end of the month, the swell is barely ticking over at 0.3ft to 1.0ft, and the combined energy is hovering in the low double digits or single digits, which is basically flat. That stretch from Tuesday the 28th all the way through to Saturday the 1st of August is a write-off. You’ll be sitting on your board staring at a lake.
There is a little bump of energy on Sunday the 2nd of August. We see the swell jump to 5ft by the afternoon, with a combined energy of 117 – that’s moderate but still nothing special. The problem is the period is only 5 seconds, which is just wind slop. The wind is a solid offshore from the WSW at 16 mph, so it’ll be clean, but that short-period swell is going to be soft and messy. At 5ft, it’s getting a bit punchy for beginners.
The only real standout, and I’m using that term loosely, is Tuesday morning the 4th of August. The swell drops back to 2ft from the east with an 8-second period, and combined energy is 75, so still weak, but the wind goes glassy. That’s about as good as it gets in this run. The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is about average for this time of year with a slight -0.9° difference, so not worth mentioning any drama there.
Beyond that, we see little 1ft to 2ft pulses through the second week, but the wind is messy or onshore most days. Crowds at Ormond Beach Pier are often an issue, but with no swell to speak of, it’ll be quiet. Honestly, for the next two weeks, if you want to paddle out, Tuesday 4th morning is your best shot for a few clean, small rollers. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.
