The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you — the next couple of weeks at Ormond Beach Pier are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and mostly cross or onshore wind, so don’t get your hopes up. There’s a glimmer of something toward the start of August, but it’s a long way off and not exactly firing.
The water is sitting at 27° which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit if you’re spending time in.
From now through the end of July, it’s basically flat. Swell heights are hanging around 0.7 ft to 2 ft with periods of 8 seconds or less, and the combined energy is weak — between 7 and 58 (weak). Winds are mostly cross or cross-offshore, but the swell is just too small to bother with. It’s a write-off.
Then we hit Sunday the 2nd of August. That’s the one day that might be worth a look. The swell bumps up to 3 ft in the morning, coming from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 157 (moderate). Conditions are clean with a light offshore wind from the WSW. By the afternoon, the swell pushes to 5 ft, but the period drops to 5 seconds, so it’ll be a bit messy and weak. Still, it’s the best we’ve got. The wind stays light offshore, so it’ll be clean, but with that short period, it’s not going to be a classic. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
After that, Monday the 3rd of August has a bit of energy — 3 ft from the ESE with 8 seconds and energy of 168 (moderate) — but the wind is cross-shore and it’s just not going to be clean. The rest of the first week of August is back to small, weak surf with poor conditions.
The second week (from the 5th onward) is really just more of the same: tiny waves, poor wind, and nothing to get excited about. There’s a glassy morning on the 9th of August, but the swell is only 2 ft, so it’s a flat calm with no real rideable waves.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August is the only standout in the whole 16 days. It’s not much, but it’s the best on offer. The rest of the time, you’re better off doing something else.
Rusty.

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.
