The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you: I’ve scanned every report we got for Ormond Beach Pier across the next sixteen days, and it’s a rough stretch. We’ve got a big, long gap of flat, sloppy nothing to start with. The first time it’s even worth thinking about a paddle is the morning of September 15th, and even that’s a small window.
From right now through the 14th, it’s mostly just shin-biters with onshore crud or straight-up onshore junk. The water temp’s about what you’d expect for September — nothing weird. Whole period is a write-off until that Tuesday.
The one and only real standout is the morning of Tuesday, September 15th. We get a little pulse of NE swell running about 3 ft, coming from the ENE. The big thing here is the wind — it’s dead calm, glassy as a lake. That’ll clean up that short-period (8 seconds) groundswell. For a beach/pier setup, the longer lulls from that short period are actually a help for getting out. The combined energy is around 121 (moderate) — not strong, but enough to ride. After the glass, the afternoon picks up a touch more energy (133) but gets chopped by a cross-onshore breeze. So the call is clear: dawn patrol.
The morning of September 15th is your best bet of the whole forecast.
After that? More of the same: little windswell, onshore wind, poor quality. Not worth the drive.
