The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Ormond Beach Pier. Let’s be straight with you: the next week and a half is a tough watch. The forecast is filled with tiny, weak swell and a whole lot of onshore wind, which means a whole lot of nothing for paddle surfing. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no crazy surprises there.

We start off on Wednesday the 26th of August, and honestly, it’s a write-off. The swell is a pathetic 1ft coming from the east, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 22 (weak). The wind is cross-off in the morning, but the waves are just too small and poor. Afternoon goes cross with a sea breeze, and it’s game over. Thursday and Friday the 27th and 28th are the same story – tiny 0.7ft to 1ft swell. Friday morning the 28th *does* go glassy, which is a beautiful sight, but with 1ft of weak east swell, it’s just a flat, clean lake. You’d be better off with a paddleboard.

The entire weekend of the 29th and 30th, and right through the first week of September, is a brutal run of onshore east winds. The swell barely bumps up to 2ft, and the period is a short, weak 7 to 8 seconds. The energy stays in the weak two-digit range (30-59). It’s just choppy, messy, and not worth getting wet for. There’s a long gap of nothing here.

Now, we get a little flicker of hope on the 5th of September, a Saturday morning. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the northeast with a 6-second period, and the wind goes glassy. The combined energy is 73 (moderate). The notes say “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and with a score of that quality, it’s the best we’ve seen in two weeks, but it’s still weak. The afternoon gets ruined by a 12 mph cross-onshore wind, so that window is tight.

The 7th of September Monday morning shows a bit more grunt, with a 3ft east-northeast swell at 10 seconds, and the energy jumps to 127 (moderate). But the wind is onshore, making it a messy, poor option. The 8th of September Tuesday morning has the highest energy we see at 197 (moderate), with a 3ft swell, but it’s all onshore wind again. Not a clean wave.

The one standout, but it’s a long way off on the 10th of September Thursday morning, we get a 2ft swell from the northeast with a short 5-second period, but the wind turns glassy from the NNW. The energy is 74 (moderate). The notes say “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s clean, but it’s tiny. No real power.

For a beach/pier break like this with that much onshore wind and weak swell, the setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period. The consistency is “fairly consistent,” but the quality is just not there. The best bet is that glassy window on the 5th of September for a longboard session on the tiny 3ft NE swell, but don’t expect much. Crowds are often, so even on the small days, expect company.

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.
