The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for the Ormond Beach area. There’s simply no decent swell on the cards, with most days offering knee-high dribble at best. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year. We'll run through the whole period, but don't expect any fireworks.
Right now, Wednesday afternoon sees a weak 3ft ESE windswell bumping in with a short period of 4 seconds. With a 16 mph cross-shore wind, it's a choppy mess and the combined energy is a paltry 27. Honestly, not worth the paddle.
Through Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th, the swell drops further. We're looking at 2ft to 3ft of short-period E to ESE windswell. A light onshore breeze on Friday morning offers the best chance for something to push onto the bank, but it's still tiny. The combined energy stays weak, between 35 and 83.
The weekend brings cleaner conditions but even less size. Saturday the 25th has early cross-off winds, cleaning up that 2ft E swell, but the energy is a low 44. Sunday the 26th is similar with a light cross-off, offering a clean 2ft wave for the longboard. On Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th, we get offshore winds in the mornings, cleaning up tiny 1ft to 1ft waves. It’s flat, but if you had to, you could find a knee-high glassy wave.
The first week of August shows a tiny bump in size around the 2nd. Sunday the 2nd has a 3ft SE swell pushing the combined energy up to 148 – the highest we'll see for a while. Still, the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is cross-on, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Monday the 3rd morning sees a glassy 2ft SE swell with weak energy, but the period is a terrible 5 seconds, making it a bouncy mess.
From the 4th through the 6th of August, it's back to tiny offshore wind conditions with 0.6ft to 2ft waves. The final morning on Thursday the 6th is glassy, but with only a 1ft swell, it’s barely a ripple.
The one real standout, if you can call it that, is just a cleaner session with a bit more push. Ormond Beach Pier on Sunday morning, August 2nd, with that 3ft SE swell. It’s not big, but the glassy conditions and a combined energy of 148 make it the most appealing window for a small-wave log. There’s a chance of crowds here, so get there early for a chance at a few clean, waist-high runners.
Rusty.

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.
