The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Ormond Beach Pier. Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s looking pretty darn flat. We’ve got a long gap of no real surf on offer. The first proper sign of life doesn’t show up until Friday August 7th, so that’s a solid stretch of small, weak stuff you’ll be staring at.
Right now, through the end of July and into the first week of August, we’re dealing with tiny dribbles—waves around 0.7ft to 2ft. The energy in the water is practically nothing, with combined energy readings stuck in the weak range (mostly single and low double digits). Winds are a mixed bag, but with waves that small, it doesn’t really matter. It’s just not happening.
Then we hit a turning point around Friday August 7th. A pulse of swell finally arrives, pushing wave heights up to 5ft to 6ft from the east with moderate energy levels finally showing up (444 to 516). This is a groundswell with a 9-second period. The problem? The winds are cross-onshore and onshore from the ENE, making it choppy. Saturday August 8th has similar energy (610) but it’s messy with onshore winds and swell period dropping to 8 seconds. We’re looking at marginal conditions at best. This is not the day to call in sick for.
Sunday August 9th sees the swell hanging around 4ft to 5ft, but the period drops to a weak 6 seconds, and it’s onshore again. The energy drops hard (111 to 150). Not great.
After that, the surf fades back down into the 2ft to 3ft range for the rest of the run. We finally get some clean conditions with offshore wind on Wednesday August 12th and Thursday August 13th, but the waves are just small and ordinary. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is a bit cooler than normal for this time of year. Nothing to get excited about there.
The standout through this whole window is hard to find. If you’re desperate, the cleanest conditions with the most size will be Friday August 7th, but that onshore wind is going to be a buzzkill. Honestly, it’s a poor patch of forecast. Maybe dust off the kiteboard if you’ve got one, because the paddle surfing looks like a write-off for a good stretch.
Rusty.

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.
