The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat around here. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf ahead, so don't get your hopes up for anything thrilling.
The outlook starts off quiet. From Friday the 17th to through Friday the 24th, we’re looking at tiny waves. I’m talking ankle-snappers mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft, with hardly any energy (combined energy of all swells directed here is only between 9 and 45). The wind does offer some clean windows, especially on Saturday the 18th afternoon with a gentle offshore breeze, but with such tiny swell, it’s barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Saturday the 25th of July morning finally shows a little pulse. We get a bump up to 3ft from the ESE, and combined energy of all swells directed here climbs a bit to 68. It’s still 'surfable but ordinary' – not a standout by any stretch. The wind is light and from the SSW, keeping it clean, but the period is a meager 5 seconds. That short period means the waves are going to be crumbly and weak.
The best window in this whole 16-day stretch pops up on Wednesday the 29th of July morning. We’ve got 3ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of all swells directed here at 68. The kicker here is the wind – dead calm, glassy conditions. That means the surface will be like a mirror. Even though the swell is still small, that kind of clean, glassy water is a rare treat for the wave starved. It’s not going to be big, but for a log or a funboard, it’s the pick of the period. Wind is key, and this is it.
After that, we slide back into the small stuff through the end of July and into August 1st. There’s just not enough push to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: don't bother paddling out until maybe the early morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. That’s your one genuine shot at some clean, glassy little runners at Ormond Beach Pier. Everything else is a flat spell. Keep an eye on the sky, because forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
