The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. We’ve got a real dry patch ahead. For the first week and a half, the surf is tiny and pretty ordinary, so don't be in a rush. That glassy Sunday morning on the 13th with 2ft east swell might look tempting, but it's just not enough to get excited about. There’s a long stretch of sub-3ft dribble until things finally start to change.

The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, looks like Wednesday the 23rd. Ormond Beach Pier should finally see some proper ENE groundswell pushing 5ft with a period of 9 seconds. The combined wave energy is really pumping, reading 697, which is a solid kick. The morning will be a dream with a light offshore wind and clean surf. This is the best on offer, no question. That same swell hangs around through Thursday the 24th with 5ft ENE swell, and the wind looks promising again with light offshore and glassy conditions, making for another solid day.

There’s also a bit of a pulse earlier, around Tuesday the 22nd when we get an offshore wind and 3ft swell, but it’s a lot smaller and might just be a warm-up.

Water temp is sitting around 82°F, which is pretty typical for this time of year, no surprises there.

So, to sum it up: wait it out, the best bet is the 23rd and 24th at Ormond Beach Pier. Get ready, because that Wednesday morning is looking like a cracker.

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.
