The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we’ve got coming up for Ormond Beach Pier. I gotta level with you – this is a rough patch. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch with almost no surf to get excited about.

We get a little bump of energy on Wednesday the 2nd, with the combined energy hitting around (110), but that’s with a cross-onshore wind and a weak, short-period 0.7m east swell. It’s not going to be any good. The water temp here is 81°, which is about two and a half degrees cooler than normal for the time of year, so it’s a bit colder than you’d expect for early September.

The entire first week is pretty much a bust. There are a couple of glassy mornings – Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th – but the swell is tiny, barely 1 foot. It’s flat, plain and simple. Even when we get clean offshore wind on the morning of Thursday the 10th, the swell is just too weak to do anything with.

The only faint glimmer of hope is on Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning shows a clean, cross-offshore breeze and a small 2-foot northeast windswell. The period is short, only 6 seconds, so it’ll be weak and a bit bumpy, but the forecast actually calls it "surfable." For a run this empty, that’s the closest we get to a highlight. The combined energy is still low (52), so if you’re really jonesing for a paddle, that’s your chance. Just don’t expect any quality.

Honestly, this is a classic Florida summer flat spell. It’s quiet, it’s frustrating, and forecasts can always change, but for now, I’d say leave the board at home.

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.
