The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat around here. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf ahead, so don't get your hopes up for anything thrilling.

The outlook starts off quiet. From Friday the 17th to through Friday the 24th, we’re looking at tiny waves. I’m talking ankle-snappers mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft, with hardly any energy (combined energy of all swells directed here is only between 9 and 45). The wind does offer some clean windows, especially on Saturday the 18th afternoon with a gentle offshore breeze, but with such tiny swell, it’s barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Saturday the 25th of July morning finally shows a little pulse. We get a bump up to 3ft from the ESE, and combined energy of all swells directed here climbs a bit to 68. It’s still 'surfable but ordinary' – not a standout by any stretch. The wind is light and from the SSW, keeping it clean, but the period is a meager 5 seconds. That short period means the waves are going to be crumbly and weak.

The best window in this whole 16-day stretch pops up on Wednesday the 29th of July morning. We’ve got 3ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of all swells directed here at 68. The kicker here is the wind – dead calm, glassy conditions. That means the surface will be like a mirror. Even though the swell is still small, that kind of clean, glassy water is a rare treat for the wave starved. It’s not going to be big, but for a log or a funboard, it’s the pick of the period. Wind is key, and this is it.

After that, we slide back into the small stuff through the end of July and into August 1st. There’s just not enough push to get excited about.

So, to sum it up: don't bother paddling out until maybe the early morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. That’s your one genuine shot at some clean, glassy little runners at Ormond Beach Pier. Everything else is a flat spell. Keep an eye on the sky, because forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.

Information about the Ormond Beach Pier Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Ormond Beach Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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.
