Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same outlook, but in feet and miles per hour for you.
Truth is, this 16-day stretch at Ormond Beach Pier is a real bummer. There's a long, flat period right off the bat. We don't see anything worth paddling out for until Thursday, July 9th. That's a solid 4-day gap of no surf from Sunday the 5th through the 9th.
Swell is consistently tiny across the board. Most readings come in between 1.0 ft and 2 ft. It's all coming from the ESE, which is not the NE direction we need for this spot to work well. The combined swell energy is almost always in the low two-digit numbers, like 14, 29, or 34, which is super weak. There’s a brief spike on Wednesday, July 8th afternoon to 188, but that's just a 3 ft SE windswell with a short period, still rated "poor surf conditions."
The water temp is about 84°F, which is just normal for the season.
For the entire forecast, we’re either in a tiny clean morning or a choppy afternoon. The best of a bad lot is Thursday morning, July 9th. The swell is only 2 ft from the ESE, but the wind is light offshore from the SSW at 3 mph, so the surface is clean. It’s described as "surfable but very ordinary." Friday morning, July 10th, is a repeat of that – 2 ft with light offshore wind. That’s about as good as it gets.
We get some glassy mornings, like on Saturday, July 11th, and Tuesday, July 14th. But with the swell stuck at 1 ft to 2 ft, it’s just flat and clean, not surfable.
For beginners, the biggest swell is 4 ft on Sunday morning, July 5th, but the period is only 4 seconds with a crosswind, so it's messy and unsurfable.
For a beach/pier setup, with so little size and poor direction, this whole window looks better for a flatwater paddle than catching waves. It's a normal quiet spell for this area. Don't hold your breath, but keep an eye out for forecast changes.
Rusty.

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.
