The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. It’s gonna be a lean couple of weeks. From Friday the 17th of July right through to Thursday the 24th, the surf is pretty much non-existent. Swell stays under 3 feet, and the combined energy readings are all in the weak range. There are some clean, glassy moments – like Wednesday the 22nd with a dead calm morning – but without any swell under it, you’re just looking at flat water.
The only time it starts to wake up is around Saturday the 25th of July. That’s your best bet at Ormond Beach Pier. On Saturday morning, we get a 2 ft east swell with a period of 10 seconds. That longer period brings a bit of shape, and the energy reading hits 56, which is still light but the strongest in this whole stretch. The wind is light from the SSW, so it’s cross-off and clean. Water temp is a warm 83°, just about normal for the year. The swell direction is east, but this spot works best with a northeast swell, so it’s not ideal, but it’s long-period groundswell, so it’ll wrap in. It’s intermediate level, fairly consistent, and you can count on the lot being pretty often full of people.
By Saturday afternoon the swell bumps up a little to 3 ft and energy hits 104 (moderate), but the wind shifts onshore from the east-southeast and chops it up. So if you’re gonna go, make it early.
After that, it’s back to small, clean swells in the 1 ft range for the remainder of the forecast. Nothing else stands out.
So the standout is that Saturday morning, July 25th. It’s not a bomb, but it’s all we’ve got. Be patient.
