Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ormond Beach Pier over the next 16 days.
Hey folks, Rusty here. I've gotta be straight with you – looking at the 16-day window for the Ormond Beach Pier area, it's a tough one. The forecast is pretty much a blank run for the entire period. Every single morning and afternoon from Saturday, July 11th, right through to Sunday, July 26th, the report is calling it "poor surf conditions." That's a solid 16-day stretch of nothing worth paddling out for.
The swell is barely a whisper for the whole time, with heights hanging around 0.7ft to 3ft. The period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, which is just weak, choppy wind swell. The combined energy of all swells is weak, with values like 25, 20, and 13, barely cracking 100 on the whole run. The biggest day is the 26th of July, with a combined energy of 115 (moderate), but the swell is still only 3ft from the ESE and the wind is a cross-onshore, making it choppy. It's just not going to be any fun.
The water temperature right now is 84°F, with a water temperature anomaly of -0.2°F, so it's totally average for the time of year.
If you're looking at the 25th and 26th of July, there's a glimmer of something slightly bigger. The swell picks up a bit to 2ft and 2ft from the E but the period is still short, 5 to 7 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore, which is about the best you'll get, but the surf is just too small and weak to get excited about. For a beach/pier setup like this with such small, weak swell and periods under 8 seconds, it's a pass. Honestly, with the conditions as they are, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, there you have it. No standout days, no hidden gems. The region is just flat. Keep the board in the car and maybe check the forecast again in a few days – it tends not to stay poor for long around here. Stay salty.

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.
