Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you—this outlook for Ormond Beach Pier is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, weak conditions that just aren't going to deliver any real surf. The forecast is pretty much a write-off for the next two weeks.
We kick off Friday the 3rd with tiny, weak 2ft swell from the ENE at a short 7 seconds, and it's cross-on so it's messy. The combined energy is only 62, so it's weak as dishwater. There's nothing to get excited about here. The water is 84°, which is about average for the time of year.
Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th are even smaller, with swell dropping to 1ft. Even though we get a bit of offshore wind and clean conditions on Sunday morning, the waves are just too small to surf. This pattern of tiny swell and poor conditions just keeps rolling on through the entire first week.
Wednesday the 8th afternoon sees a slight bump to 3ft from the SE with a 9-second period, and the energy climbs to 150, which is moderate. Still, the forecast says "poor surf conditions" and the wind is cross-off, so it might be clean but the quality just isn't there.
The only notable tick in the whole sixteen days comes on Wednesday the 15th afternoon. We get a 4ft SE swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it's weak and choppy. Energy is moderate at 122, but the cross-shore wind will just chop it up. Still, it's the biggest of the run.
Cross into the second week, and things don't improve. Thursday the 16th is back to tiny 2ft, and Friday the 17th morning shows a 3ft ESE swell with 7-second period and 161 energy. However, the wind is cross-shore and it's still being called "poor surf conditions."
Saturday the 18th afternoon sees the biggest energy reading at 218, with a 3ft E swell at 8 seconds, but again, the cross-shore wind keeps things choppy and unappealing.
Look, for a beach/pier setup like this, with consistent small, short-period swell and unfriendly winds, it's a water sports kind of week. With these conditions, you might be better off looking at kite surfing—the onshore and cross-shore winds and small waves are more suited to that. Don't get your hopes up for a proper paddle session; the forecasts can change, but right now it's a long, frustrating wait.
