The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – this isn’t looking like a classic stretch for Ormond Beach Pier. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead with very little to get excited about.
The whole 16-day outlook is a bit of a bummer, to be honest. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple most days, and the energy is way down. The combined swell energy is weak, often sitting in the low double digits, like 10 (moderate wave energy) or 16 (moderate wave energy), and only occasionally reaching 85 (moderate wave energy) – which is still nothing to write home about. The water temperature feels about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The only real window that might offer a paddle is around Monday afternoon, 3rd August. The swell is a measly 2ft, from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore, which will keep it clean. The energy is a bit higher at 65 (moderate wave energy), but the waves are described as “surfable but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not going to be a standout, but it’s the best we’ve got in this whole run. For a beginner, this is fine, but for anyone else, it’s a grovel session.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the first week and into the second week is dominated by tiny waves from the east, with periods dropping as low as 4 to 7 seconds. The wind is usually cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and messy. There are a few glassy moments early on Tuesday 4th, Sunday 9th, and Monday 10th, but the swell is so small (1ft to 2ft) that it’s barely a ripple. By the time we hit the second week, from around 11th August onward, it’s just more of the same: tiny, weak, and often messy. The few clean spells with glassy conditions are just too small to ride.
The only real positive is that the break is at a beach and pier setup, and with the swell being so small, it’s not dangerous for anyone. But honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if the wind picks up. There’s no standout session here, and the crowds are possible even on the small stuff.
So, overall, it’s a washout. Hang up the boards for a bit, or go for a longboard on Monday afternoon, 3rd August, if you’re desperate. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a flat spell to forget.
Rusty.
