The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. Ormond Beach Pier is the only game in town for this outlook, and I gotta tell you, it's a tough one. We're looking at a 16-day stretch with a whole lot of nothing. The first entry on the 3rd of September shows a bit of energy, with a combined swell energy of 111 (moderate), but the conditions are just a mess. The water's sitting at 81°, which is a good bit colder than usual for this time of year, so don't leave the wetsuit at home.

The swell is tiny, around 2.6 ft from the East, with a short, weak period of 9 seconds, and it's coming from the wrong direction for this spot, which needs a NE swell. The wind is a nasty cross-on, and it's got a risk of thunderstorms. Thursday afternoon doesn't get any better. We're looking at the same small 2.6 ft swell, but the wind is kicking up to 12 mph from the SE, making it a messy cross-shore chop. Friday is even worse. The swell drops to 2.6 ft, and the period collapses to 6 seconds, so the wave energy is weak (63). The wind is howling cross-shore at 16 mph in the afternoon. Not a single wave worth paddling for.

Things go from bad to worse over the weekend and into the next week. The swell bottoms out, dropping to 0.7 ft and 1.0 ft. The combined energy readings are pathetic, mostly in the single digits or low teens. There's a moment on Tuesday morning, the 8th, where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 2.0 ft with a 7-second period. It's clean, but it's barely a ripple. The energy is still weak at 42. We get another glassy moment on the 11th, but again, the swell is only 1.3 ft. The whole period is a drought.

There's a brief flicker of hope on the 15th and 16th of September with some light offshore winds from the WSW, but the swell is still a pathetic 1.3 ft to 1.6 ft. The energy is weak. The 17th of September has a glassy morning, but again, it's just 1.3 ft. The setup is so poor for paddle surfing that you'd honestly be better off looking for a kite if the wind is up. The wave energy is just too low to do anything with. This is a long, flat run for Ormond Beach Pier, and it's not looking like it'll change. We're talking over a week of gutless conditions. I'd find something else to do for the next two weeks.

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.

Ormond Beach Pier is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Daytona Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Daytona Beach. Daytona Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
