The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast.
Honestly, the next week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead with barely any energy in the water. Things don’t start to look interesting until we get much further into the forecast. The first real glimmer of a pulse shows up on Sunday the 20th of September, but even then it’s just a small, junkie windswell.
The real standout, and the only window I’d get excited about, is Monday the 22nd of September through to the morning of Wednesday the 24th of September. That’s when a proper NE groundswell tries to push in. Monday morning the 22nd sees the swell jump to 6 ft from the ENE with a decent 10-second period. The wave energy is moderate to strong at (614), but the cross-off wind from the SSE is clean, so Ormond Beach Pier will actually hold some shape. The swell direction is also a solid match for what this break likes. Monday afternoon it gets bigger - up to 7 ft from the NE - but the wind swings onshore, so mornings are the go-to.
Tuesday morning the 23rd will be the peak of the swell, hitting 7 ft from the NE with even more energy (1124). That’s a solid, powerful groundswell. At this size it's getting into expert territory. The wind is a cross-shore SE, so it won’t be glassy, but it’ll be rideable for those who know what they’re doing. The period is 9 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and not the cleanest wall, but the energy is there. Wednesday morning the 23rd still has some good size at 6 ft from the NE, but by then the wind is picking up, making it a bit cross-choppy.
The water temp is sitting around 83°F right now, which is totally normal for the time of year, so no worries about a cold session. Ormond Beach Pier can get busy, and with a pulse like this you can expect crowds often, especially on the Monday and Tuesday mornings.
So here’s the bottom line: forget the next week and a half. Set your alarm for Monday morning, the 22nd of September. It’s the best shot we’ve got – a solid size, clean morning wind, and a real northeast groundswell. Tuesday morning the 23rd will be too big for most, but if you’re comfortable in overhead, it’s game on.
Stay patient. Rusty.
