The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut to the chase. The next 16 days at Ormond Beach Pier are looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a big, flat gap to start, nothing worth paddling out for.
The first glimmer of something surfable doesn’t show up until Thursday, September 10th, in the morning. You’re looking at a tiny 2ft NE swell with a period of just 7 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswell, no real punch. The combined energy is a low 64, so don’t expect much. The bright side is a light SSE wind, 3 mph, which is blowing cross-offshore and keeping the surface clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Not a standout.
After that, it completely tanks. The rest of the week and into the next is a total bust. Wave heights barely touch 2ft, periods are all under 10 seconds, and energy readings are stuck in the 20s and 30s. That’s anemically weak. The wind is a mix of onshore and cross-shore, mostly from the east, and it’ll be choppy. There’s a couple of glassy mornings on Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th, but with only 1ft to 2ft of swell, it’s barely a ripple. Not worth the effort.
The water temp is around 83°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re waiting for a wave that isn’t coming.
This is a long, dry run. A gap of about a week and a half with nothing to recommend. Just so you know, the conditions are so poor for paddling that the setup is looking more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional surf. The only break on offer is Ormond Beach Pier, and it’s a beach/pier setup that can get crowded, but with this forecast, you won’t have to worry about that.
Hang in there, but this one is a tough stretch. Forecasts can change, but it’s not looking good.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Ormond Beach Pier may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
