The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch. The whole 16-day outlook is a tough read, with almost nothing worth paddling out for. The first real shot at anything even close to surfable doesn’t pop up until Sunday, September 6th, and even then, it’s barely a whisper.
Forget the first week. From August 28th right through to September 5th, it’s flat or blown out. Tiny swell, messy wind, and the pier is seeing nothing but poor surf conditions. You’re looking at a solid 8-day gap with no real recommendations.
Now, let’s talk about the one tiny glimmer. On the morning of Sunday the 6th, we get a sniff of life at Ormond Beach Pier. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the east with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is light from the SSE, coming cross-offshore, which means the surface should be clean. The wave energy is low, though, sitting at just 105 (weak energy). It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary at best. Water temp is around 82°, which is about normal for this time of year.
After that, the pattern repeats. We get a few mornings with clean conditions but the swell stays puny – mostly 1 ft to 4 ft – and periods are short. The morning of Tuesday, September 8th, sees a 4 ft east-northeast swell with clean offshore wind from the southwest. The energy is moderate at 118. Again, ordinary. Wednesday the 9th is similar: 4 ft swell, clean in the morning. But the period is just 6 seconds, so it’s weak and crumbly. Not the kind of thing that gets me out of bed.
The afternoon sessions are all a write-off. The wind swings onshore or cross-shore, and it gets choppy fast. Kite surfers might find something to play with on those bigger afternoons, especially around September 8th and 9th, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.
So, bottom line: this is a lean run. The area is used to these flat spells. The only times worth looking at are the clean mornings around September 6th, 8th, and 9th, but even then, keep your expectations real low. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there’s no standout session.
Rusty.
