Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Ormond Beach Pier.
Truth is, this is a rough stretch. The swell is tiny, barely 1ft to 3ft, mostly from the ESE or SE with short periods around 7 to 9 seconds. There’s hardly any energy, and the wave power is in the weak range (20-79). Not much to get excited about.
We start Tuesday afternoon, July 7th, with a tiny 1ft ESE swell, but a cross-shore SE wind at 15 mph makes it messy. The water temp is a warm 84°F and about 1°F above normal, so it’s about average for the time of year. You’ll be floating, not surfing.
Wednesday morning, July 8th, is glassy with a light SSW breeze, but still only 1ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The afternoon bumps up to 3ft from the SE, but a fresh 18 mph cross-shore wind ruins it—lumpy and choppy.
Thursday morning, July 9th, is the only real standout. We get a light offshore wind from the SW at 3 mph, and a 2ft swell from the E with a 9-second period. The water is clean. It’s small, but it’s the cleanest surf you’ll see. The wave energy is weak (45), but if you’re on a longboard and want a few knee-high sliders, that’s your window.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Friday, July 10th, through to Wednesday, July 15th, we’ve got tiny swell (1ft to 2ft) with mostly cross-shore winds and poor conditions. That’s a gap of about 5 days with no real recommendation.
On Wednesday, July 15th morning, we get a 2ft NE swell with a 7-second period, and a light offshore wind from the SSE. It’s clean, but the energy is still weak (69) and the period is short. It’s surfable but very ordinary. That’s the best of the second week.
Thursday, July 16th morning is glassy with a 2ft ENE swell, but again, short period and weak energy (50). Worth a look only if you’re bored.
The rest of the window into the third week stays flat, with tiny 1ft to 2ft swell and mostly cross or onshore winds. There’s a tiny uptick on Wednesday, July 22nd, with a 2ft E swell and a moderate offshore wind from the SW—clean, but still tiny.
Bottom line: No real standout here. The best is Thursday, July 9th morning, with a bit of offshore wind and some knee-high E swell. After that, you’re waiting for the 15th or 16th for a slight bump. Crowds are likely at Ormond Beach Pier, but with this much nothing, you’ll have the place to yourself.

Information about the Ormond Beach Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ormond Beach Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ormond Beach Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ormond Beach Pier surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Ormond Beach Pier) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Ormond Beach Pier is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Daytona Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Daytona Beach. Daytona Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
