The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty damn quiet for Ormond Beach Pier. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves ahead, so don’t be in a rush to wax up just yet.
We’re kicking off with a real flat spell. From Saturday the 8th right through to the 19th of August, it’s going to be a struggle. The swell is mostly under 3ft, with a weak combined swell energy often sitting below 100, and on some days barely cracking 20. The swell direction is out of the east to southeast, and that short period, mostly between 4 and 8 seconds, means those waves are just lacking any punch. The wind is a mixed bag of cross and cross-off breezes, so the surface is never really clean. Tuesday morning the 11th shows a bit of glass, but with a swell of 1ft from the ESE, it’s barely a ripple. There’s a little bump on the 18th and 19th, but the conditions are still ordinary, with a score of just 1, so it’s not worth getting excited about. The water temperature sits at 82°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 2° cooler.
Now, hold on tight, because things actually start to look a little more promising around the 20th of August. Thursday the 20th is the standout. The morning brings a clean 3ft east swell with a 12-second period, and the wind is offshore from the southwest. The combined swell energy climbs to 268, which is a moderate energy, promising some decent shape. That afternoon, the wind goes glassy, and the swell lifts to 4ft out of the east with an 11-second period, and the energy jumps to 302. This is the best on offer – a nice, clean, moderate-sized swell with good period. The direction from the east is a solid match for the optimum swell direction for this spot. Keep in mind that with a period over 11 seconds, it’s a groundswell, and at a beach break like this, it might throw up some longer, straighter lines, but the glassy conditions should keep it fun.
After that high point, the swell fades back down into the ordinary territory for the 21st through the 23rd, with smaller waves and more cross-off winds. It’s a real shame, because that one day in the second week is the only real window of opportunity in the whole 16-day forecast.
Rusty.
