The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with the imperial report. It’s a tough outlook, no two ways about it. The next 16 days are looking flat and mostly forgettable for Ormond Beach Pier, the only break in the mix.
We’re looking at a long stretch of weak, tiny surf. The combined wave energy numbers are almost all below 100, which tells you how limp it is. The water temp is about 83°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The week kicks off Wednesday, July 15, but there’s nothing to ride. We’ve got 1ft waves from the ESE with a period around 8 to 9 seconds and a cross-offshore wind on the morning, but it’s just too small. This flat pattern is the story for days. There’s a real gap here where you won’t find a single decent wave.
The closest we get to anything is Monday afternoon, July 20. The swell pushes up to 4ft from the SE, but the period is a woeful 5 seconds – all wind, no punch. The combined energy is still a weak 61, and the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the ESE making it choppy. Tuesday afternoon, July 21, offers a similar 4ft with a 4-second period. With that strong cross-shore and a beach break, this setup might be better for kite surfing than a proper surf.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The last week of July is all under 2ft, with short periods and mostly onshore or cross-shore breezes. Saturday morning, July 25, does see a glassy, clean 2ft wave from the E, but the combined energy is only 31, so it’s barely a ripple.
No standouts here, folks. It’s a long flat spell. The break offers little to no power, and the winds are rarely your friend. More of a swim than a surf.
Rusty.

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.
