The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what’s going on with the surf this week. Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell we're looking at. No standout waves to get excited about for the entire 16-day window. I've scanned the charts and there’s just nothing doing.
We're looking at Ormond Beach Pier here. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing wild to report. For the foreseeable future, we've got tiny, weak energy coming in, almost exclusively from the east and east-southeast. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting in the double digits for the most part, like 43 (weak). For the whole run, we’re talking about ankle to maybe knee-high waves at best, with super short periods around 7 to 8 seconds. That's just windswell, not organized groundswell.
For the first week, it's all "poor surf conditions" in the data. The wind does offer some clean windows, especially on the mornings of Sunday the 27th and 28th of July with light offshore, but with swell heights of just 1.0ft to 1.3ft, it’s just not enough to ride. Even when the wind goes glassy, like Saturday morning the 25th of July, the 2.0ft of weak swell won't break properly. This setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer since it's a beach pier setup with light to moderate cross-shore breezes at times.
After the first week, we roll into August and it's more of the same. There’s a tiny blip in energy on the 4th of August with a combined energy reading of 91 (still weak), but even that 2.6ft swell is mired by a poor wave comment and a short period. From that point on, it’s consistently small, weak, and unremarkable through to the end of the forecast.
There is no surf on offer here. If you can find a flat-water paddle, that’s your best bet. Forecasts can change, but right now, this stretch of beach is looking like a total washout for waves.
Stay patient, and I'll keep an eye on it.
