The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me break down what we’re looking at for Ormond Beach Pier.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. We start off on Tuesday, July 21, with a small 3ft swell from the SE, but it’s short-period windswell, weak energy at just 118 (weak). The morning has a cross-offshore breeze, but the waves are poor. Not worth getting wet for. From there, it’s a long dry spell. The swell drops to tiny, mostly under 2ft, with short periods and weak energy readings in the teens and twenties. That runs from Wednesday, July 22, right through the end of July and into the first week of August. That’s about 13 days with no real surf on offer.
The water temp is 83°F, which is about normal for this time of year, with a slight anomaly of -0.7°F, nothing out of the ordinary.
The very end of the run, on Tuesday, August 5, shows a little bump in the afternoon with a 2ft swell from the ESE, but it’s still short period (7 seconds) and onshore. The combined energy climbs to 90 (still weak). With the wind on it, it’s going to be messy. No real standout session here. The best you’ll get is a few clean, knee-high waves on the mornings with light or offshore wind, like the morning of Monday, July 27, or Tuesday, July 28, with a gentle offshore breeze, but the swell is only 1ft. Just a glassy little dribble.
Bottom line: If you’ve got a longboard and low expectations, you might find a few tiny, clean waves on the best mornings, but for the next two weeks, Ormond Beach Pier is mostly flat and choppy. No standout in the bunch.
