The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Ormond Beach Pier. I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty quiet out there. The forecast is a long stretch of tiny, weak waves, and there’s a real gap in any kind of worthwhile surf for the first several days.

Right now, starting Thursday the 23rd of July, we’ve got about 2ft of east swell, but it’s short period at 8 seconds and coming in with a cross-onshore wind. The water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is pretty much average for this time of year. The energy is weak (combined energy of all swells directed here: 35), and the conditions are just poor. That theme carries right on through the rest of the week. We get a glassy morning on Saturday the 25th, but the swell is still only 2ft and weak. We see some clean conditions on Sunday morning the 26th and Monday morning the 27th, but the swell is dropping to 1ft – 2ft. It’s just not enough to get excited about.

There’s a bit of a shift on the afternoon of Wednesday the 29th of July. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the southeast, still short period at 8 seconds, but the wind swings offshore from the WSW at 12 mph. The energy picks up to a moderate 120. It’s surfable, but it’s really ordinary. That’s the best we’ve seen so far, but it’s not a standout. After that, it drops back into a lull of tiny 0.7ft to 1ft waves all the way through the end of July and into the first week of August.

Looking further out, the morning of Monday the 3rd of August shows a little more promise. The swell is still small at 2ft from the ESE, but we’ve got moderate offshore winds from the SW at 12 mph. The energy is moderate (combined energy: 71). Again, it’s surfable but very ordinary. Tuesday the 4th of August afternoon has a similar 2ft with clean conditions. Nothing is jumping out as a true standout session. The swell is too small and weak for any real power, and the direction is mostly east or east-southeast, which is a cross to cross-offshore wind window for this spot.

Honestly, there’s no one day I’d call a winner. The waves are tiny, the energy is low, and the consistency is poor. If you’re desperate for a paddle on a clean day, the glassy mornings could be a go, but you’ll be chasing knee-high slop. For a beginner, the size is safe, but the quality just isn’t there. This is a run of flat conditions that’s pretty normal for this area in the summer, so don’t sweat it. Forecasts can change.

Rusty.

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.

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.
