The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s look at the same window in feet and knots.
It’s a bleak outlook for Ormond Beach Pier for the first week and a half. The swell is tiny, the wind is a mess, and the quality is just poor. The water temp is about 81°, which is a bit cooler than average for this time of year.
Thursday, August 6th kicks it off with a weak 2ft east swell, a period of 7 seconds, and onshore winds making it choppy. The combined energy is a low 37. This same pattern of small, weak, bumpy surf continues for days. The swell never gets above 4ft, and the wind is always cross or cross-onshore. The only glassy moment is the early morning of Tuesday, August 11th, but the wave is a tiny 1ft, not worth getting wet for.
We finally get a chance on Tuesday morning, August 18th. A clean, gentle offshore wind from the southwest with a 2ft northeast swell. The period is short at 6 seconds, but it’s the first "surfable" condition in the whole forecast. The energy is still low at 57. Wednesday morning, August 19th, is similar with a 2ft wave and a gentle offshore.
The one to circle is Thursday morning, August 20th. A 2ft east swell with a 10-second period – that’s a nice groundswell. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so the surface will be perfect. The combined energy hits 95, the highest we see. It’s the cleanest, best bet of the entire 16 days. For a beach break, that long period can make it a bit straight, but with the glassy conditions, go for it.
So, a long, flat run with a few clean but tiny moments. The stand-out is the morning of the 20th. Everything else is a skunk.
Rusty.
