The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be real about what we've got on the local menu. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is a pretty flat affair, to be honest. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak waves and not much in the way of a proper swell window. The water temp is sitting around 81°, which is a bit cooler than the long-term average for this time of year, so you might want a thin spring suit if you're feeling the cold.

The only real spot on the radar is Ormond Beach Pier. It's a beach and pier setup, fairly consistent, but it's going to be a waiting game. The first week is a write-off. From Sunday the 30th of August through to Wednesday the 9th of September, the surf is tiny and the conditions are poor. We're talking ankle-biters with weak energy readings—mostly in the low hundreds, with a few days in the 50s and 60s—and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what little bump there is.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning sees a cross-offshore breeze from the west at 9 mph, giving us some clean 0.6m waves from the east with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is 77, still weak, but it's clean. The standout is the Wednesday afternoon session: a light offshore wind from the west-southwest at 9 mph, with 0.6m waves from the east. The forecast says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I'd agree. It's not pumping, but it's the only window of clean, rideable surf in the whole outlook. For a beach break like this, that light offshore wind is a major positive, making it the best we'll see.

After that, the pattern drops back into poor surf and small waves for the rest of the period. The morning of Saturday the 12th of September is glassy with 0.4m waves, but it's just too small to get excited about. The energy levels are in the teens and twenties.

So, the long and short of it: there's one real window—Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon. If you're desperate for a paddle, that's your moment. Otherwise, the whole 16-day forecast is a bust. The swell is tiny, the energy is low, and the conditions are mostly average. Fairly consistent breaks like this tend not to stay poor forever, but for now, the models are showing a blank run. I'd keep an eye on the forecasts, but don't hold your breath.

Rusty.

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.
