The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for a while. To be honest, it's a pretty quiet outlook ahead. The swell windows are just not aligning for us at Ormond Beach Pier. We're looking at a solid run of small, weak surf for the better part of two weeks, with only a few moments that offer a glimmer of hope.
Right now, the water temp is sitting right where it should be for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
Kicking off from August 10th right through to the 18th, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, and the period is short. The combined energy is weak, sitting in the low double-digits for most of that first week. The wind is all over the shop, but the biggest problem is just the lack of any real push. The best we get in that period is a tiny 1ft with glassy conditions on Tuesday morning the 11th, but with only 20 energy behind it, you're just floating around. Not worth paddling out for.
We finally see a bit of life around Wednesday morning, August 19th. The swell picks up to 2ft from the east, but the period stretches out to 12 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 102, which means there’s actually some weight behind it. The morning is glassy with a light north wind. It’s still small, but that long-period groundswell will bring clean, workable lines. The sandbars are the key here, but with the conditions so clean, it’s the most likely window to get a few. The Thursday morning the 20th is also similar, 2ft from the east with 83 energy, and glassy conditions again. I’d say those two mornings are the pick of the bunch.
Look, if you’re desperate, that Wednesday and Thursday morning are your best chance, but don’t expect much. For the rest of the time, the wind is mostly cross-shore or onshore, and the swell is just too weak. For a beach/pier setup like this, when it’s that small and weak with poor consistency, it's honestly more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. We get a little bump on the 22nd and 23rd, but the wind is messy and the direction goes funky from the NNE.
It’s a long wait. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, the first real taste of anything worth getting wet for isn’t until the 19th. Hang tight.
Rusty.
