The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Ormond Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Look, I’m gonna level with you. This stretch of the coast is in for a long, quiet spell. The whole 16-day window is a pretty flat and frustrating affair, with nothing that really gets the heart pumping. It’s one of those runs where the ocean just doesn’t want to cooperate. We’ve got a solid gap of no real surf to speak of, with the first few days offering up barely a ripple.
Kicking off on Tuesday the 1st of September, it’s pretty grim. The swell is tiny, coming in at a measly 2ft from the east, but with a weak period of 8 seconds and onshore winds from the ENE, the wave energy is a feeble 46. It’s just poor surf. The whole first week is like this, with small, weak, wind-affected swell. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about. The best we see in this first week is a moment of glassy conditions on the morning of Saturday the 5th, but the swell has dropped to a pathetic 1ft. It’s flat, mate. That’s all there is to it.
Heading into the second week, things don’t pick up. The swell stays tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is nearly always onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up whatever little wave there is. There’s a slight bump in wave energy by the afternoon of Saturday the 12th, with the swell hitting 3ft from the ESE and the energy reading 132 (moderate), but the period is short at 8 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-onshore. It’s still poor surf. Honestly, there’s no standout session, no hidden gem to get excited about. For a beach-pier setup like this, with such a persistent lack of swell and poor wind, the whole period looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, if they can even get going.
The long and short of it is: there’s nothing happening. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy morning on the 5th might be your only chance to bob around, but don’t expect a wave. This is one of those blank runs that’s just part of the deal here. The forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d find something else to do.
Rusty.

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.
