The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Ormond Beach Pier are looking pretty flat and quiet. Not much to get excited about, to be honest. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf with barely any energy, and it’s going to be a while before anything even surfable pops up.
The first few days through the 17th to the 22nd of July are all showing poor surf conditions with tiny waves – mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft – and the combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 20 (9 to 20). The wind is okay at times, like a glassy morning on the 17th, but with 0.7ft of swell, it’s just not enough to bother with. After that, the 23rd of July Thursday afternoon shows a slight bump: 3ft from the SE with a period of 8 seconds, and combined energy just hitting 102 (moderate), but the conditions are still described as “very ordinary.” That’s the best we get for a while, and it’s weak.
From the 24th of July onward, we’re stuck in a rut. The swell stays tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft, with periods of 4 to 9 seconds, and energy is weak – often in the teens or twenties. There are a few glassy mornings on the 30th and 31st of July, with 1ft and 1ft respectively, but the swell is so small it’s barely a ripple. The water temperature is around 83°F, which is about normal for this time of year – no anomaly to speak of.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the 23rd of July Thursday afternoon, but even then, it’s a 3ft SE swell with 8-second period – short period, not much grunt. The wind is a gentle cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are small and ordinary. It’s a beach/pier setup, so with these tiny waves, it’s only really for beginners or longboarders. Crowds are often, so expect company.
The rest of the 16 days is a blank. A long stretch of poor surf with no real recommendation. For a spot like Ormond Beach Pier, this kind of quiet run isn’t unusual – it can go flat for a while. But forecasts can change, so keep an eye out.
Rusty.

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.
