The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on the cards for the next couple of weeks. There's really only one spot to talk about: Ormond Beach Pier.
Right out of the gate, I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty flat and sad for most of the run. The first recommendation doesn't kick off until Friday the 28th of August, and honestly, that's not a good sign. For the first week, from that Friday right through to the end of August and into the first week of September, we are looking at a big, fat zero. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, coming from the East, and the period is short, around 5 to 8 seconds. That's just wind chop, not proper surf. On top of that, we've got cross and cross-onshore winds, which is just gonna mess up that little bit of wave face we might get. The combined wave energy is weak – usually in the 30s to 40s (42, 31, 73) – so there's just no power there.
There's a bit of a tease around Wednesday the 2nd of September. The swell jumps to 2ft from the East with a period of 11 seconds and the energy climbs into the moderate range (114). That sounds better, but the wind is still cross-onshore and the report still calls it poor. It's not going to be clean. We get another little spike on Wednesday the 9th of September with 2ft East swell and a long 11-second period (103 energy), but again, the wind is onshore. This is the most "interesting" the forecast gets, but it's not a standout. It's a beach break, so that long period (11 seconds) might actually make it break a bit too straight, especially with the onshore wind.
Honestly, the cleanest windows we have are on a couple of days. The morning of Friday the 4th of September looks glassy with no wind, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft. Same story on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September – glassy with a light offshore NW breeze, but the swell is only 1ft. You could take a log out and catch a few knee-high dribblers, but it's not what I'd call proper surf.
So what's the best on offer? I'd say the glassy window on the morning of Saturday, the 5th of September, purely because the wind is actually offshore (NW) and there's no chop. The swell is tiny (1ft from the East) so you'll need a longboard and a good attitude, but it's the cleanest the water will be.
Overall, this is a long, lean period for Ormond Beach Pier. The surf quality is persistently poor right through until the end of the forecast window on the 12th of September. Nothing stands out as a true gem. You're better off checking back next week as the forecast can change, but for now, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.
