The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: looking at this 16-day window for the Ormond Beach Pier area, it’s a tough stretch. There’s a noticeable gap at the very start because the first few days are just not worth paddling out for. The pattern is pretty flat and messy, with a lot of onshore wind and stormy weather kicking up the chop. Let’s walk through what’s on offer.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Thursday, September 10th, in the morning. We’ve got a tiny 3 ft swell from the ENE, but the wind is light and cross-offshore, which is cleaning things up nicely. The combined wave energy is weak, at 91, so you’re not getting much push, but it’s the first time the wind cooperates. It’s surfable, but you’ll be scratching for anything decent.
After that, from Thursday afternoon all the way through to the end of the second week, it’s a long, dry gap. The swell drops to 1 ft to 2 ft for days on end. The wind is a mixed bag of light offshore breezes and cross-shore chop, but the energy is just too weak (combined energy in the teens to low 40s) to give you anything rideable. Even the glassy mornings on the 15th and 16th of September are just flat, flat, flat. You’d be polishing your board, not riding it.
The only other thing that stands out is a bit of a bump in size towards the very end of the outlook. On Tuesday, September 22nd, in the afternoon, the swell finally pushes up to 6 ft from the ENE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 302 (moderate), but the wind is howling onshore from the NE at 25 km/h (16 mph). That’s a windswell, choppy, and with the beach break setup here, it’s going to be a mess. Those conditions are honestly more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers. It’s a no-go for us.
So, the bottom line: there’s no standout session in this 16-day run. The best you’ll get is a clean but tiny window on Thursday the 10th. After that, it’s a long wait for something that never really comes together. Sometimes it’s just like that around here, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on the sky.
Rusty.
