The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise. Ormond Beach Pier is looking at a pretty bleak 16-day window. The break is a beach/pier setup open to the NE, but the swell we’re getting is just anemic. There’s a massive gap from July 14th all the way to July 25th—eleven days of flat to tiny, poor surf. Nothing to even think about.
The first flicker of life comes on Saturday, July 25th, in the morning. We’re looking at a 1ft swell from the East with a long 12-second period, giving it moderate energy (53). The wind is light and cross-off from the SSW, keeping the surface clean. This is a long-period groundswell, so it might be a bit straight and fat on the beach, but it’s the only real option. The water temp is about normal for the season.
After that, it’s back to small, weak windswell. By July 27th, the Monday afternoon, the swell jumps to 2ft from the SE, but the period drops to a short 8 seconds and the wind cranks onshore from the SE at 15 mph. That’s a choppy, messy setup that’s way more fun for a kite than a surfboard. The energy is still weak (89).
So here’s the call: the only morning that’s half-decent is July 25th. It’s a long-range hope, but it’s the only one. The rest of the run is a solid pass.
Rusty.
