The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for the Ormond Beach Pier region, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s looking like a tough stretch. We’re not seeing any real standouts in this 16-day window, so don’t go getting your hopes up for anything firing.
The overall picture is pretty flat. We’ve got a long run of weak, short-period windswell with very low combined energy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama, but that’s about the only good news. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-off, which isn’t doing us any favours for clean, lined-up waves. For the first week, from Sunday the 19th right through to Monday the 27th, it’s all “poor surf conditions” with scores of zero. Tiny waves, mostly 1 ft to 2 ft, and periods all under 8 seconds—just messy, bumpy, weak stuff. Not worth paddling out for.
Then we get a little glimmer on Tuesday the 28th morning. The morning session shows a 2 ft swell from the E, with a light offshore breeze (SW, 6 mph). The combined energy is still weak at 50, but it’s labelled as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s clean, but tiny. That’s the only day in the whole run that even gets a mention above zero. The rest of that week into the start of August is just more of the same—tiny, weak, and messy. The second week continues the trend: from the 29th of July through to the 3rd of August, we’re stuck with 1.0 ft to 1 ft surf, poor energy levels, and mostly cross-off or glassy winds. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
The truth is, there’s no standout here. The best option is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it window on the morning of Tuesday the 28th at Ormond Beach Pier. It’s a beach/pier setup, so on a bigger day it can handle a bit of swell, but at 2 ft with a period of 8 seconds, it’s just a knee-high dribble. The offshore wind will keep it clean, but you’ll be fighting for scraps. Crowds are possible here, but honestly, on a day this small, I doubt many will bother.
No big swells, no groundswell, no power. Just a flat spell. It’s a blank run, but for this area, that’s not uncommon in the summer. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I’d say leave the sticks at home.
Rusty.

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.
