Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run through this for you in feet and miles per hour, same story, different numbers.
The next 16 days at Ormond Beach Pier are pretty grim overall. There’s a long stretch of tiny, weak surf from Friday July 10th all the way through to Thursday July 23rd. Wave heights are mostly 1 to 2 feet, with a short period of 7 or 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is feeble, under 100 (63 at best early on, mostly in the teens and twenties). Water temp is 84°F, about average for the season. Winds are often cross or cross-onshore, making things choppy, although there are a few glassy mornings (like Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th) where it’s clean but just too small to bother paddling out.
The only real chance to surf comes on Friday July 24th afternoon, when we see the biggest swell of the period: 4 feet from the SE, still a short 5-second period. Combined energy hits 91—still weak but the best we get. Winds are cross-off and clean. The break is Ormond Beach Pier, a beach/pier spot exposed to the NE. The swell direction is SE, not the perfect NE, but with clean conditions, it’s the highlight. Saturday July 25th morning is also rideable, with 3 feet from the SE, clean offshore wind from the SSW, and energy of 70. Commentary says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and that sums it up.
Given the small scale and weak energy, a kite surfer might have more fun on the windier afternoons than a paddle surfer. Crowds can be a factor sometimes, but with this lack of swell, it’ll be quiet.
In short: a dead run until July 24th afternoon, then a small window of clean, surfable conditions. Not a classic, but it’s something.
Rusty.

Information about the Ormond Beach Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ormond Beach Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ormond Beach Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ormond Beach Pier surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Ormond Beach Pier) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
Ormond Beach Pier is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Daytona Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Daytona Beach. Daytona Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
