The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. Ormond Beach Pier is the only game in town for this outlook, and I gotta tell you, it's a tough one. We're looking at a 16-day stretch with a whole lot of nothing. The first entry on the 3rd of September shows a bit of energy, with a combined swell energy of 111 (moderate), but the conditions are just a mess. The water's sitting at 81°, which is a good bit colder than usual for this time of year, so don't leave the wetsuit at home.
The swell is tiny, around 2.6 ft from the East, with a short, weak period of 9 seconds, and it's coming from the wrong direction for this spot, which needs a NE swell. The wind is a nasty cross-on, and it's got a risk of thunderstorms. Thursday afternoon doesn't get any better. We're looking at the same small 2.6 ft swell, but the wind is kicking up to 12 mph from the SE, making it a messy cross-shore chop. Friday is even worse. The swell drops to 2.6 ft, and the period collapses to 6 seconds, so the wave energy is weak (63). The wind is howling cross-shore at 16 mph in the afternoon. Not a single wave worth paddling for.
Things go from bad to worse over the weekend and into the next week. The swell bottoms out, dropping to 0.7 ft and 1.0 ft. The combined energy readings are pathetic, mostly in the single digits or low teens. There's a moment on Tuesday morning, the 8th, where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 2.0 ft with a 7-second period. It's clean, but it's barely a ripple. The energy is still weak at 42. We get another glassy moment on the 11th, but again, the swell is only 1.3 ft. The whole period is a drought.
There's a brief flicker of hope on the 15th and 16th of September with some light offshore winds from the WSW, but the swell is still a pathetic 1.3 ft to 1.6 ft. The energy is weak. The 17th of September has a glassy morning, but again, it's just 1.3 ft. The setup is so poor for paddle surfing that you'd honestly be better off looking for a kite if the wind is up. The wave energy is just too low to do anything with. This is a long, flat run for Ormond Beach Pier, and it's not looking like it'll change. We're talking over a week of gutless conditions. I'd find something else to do for the next two weeks.
