The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles per hour.
Looking at the full 16 days for Ormond Beach Pier, I gotta be honest – it’s a flat spell with only a few tiny windows that are even worth thinking about. The waves are small and the wind’s mostly working against us.
We start Monday the 3rd of August with tiny swell, about 2 ft from the ESE, with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is weak (33). Wind is offshore from the SW at 12 mph, so it’s clean, but there’s hardly any push. That flatness carries through Tuesday and Wednesday. Water temp is 83°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th see a little bump. Friday morning hits about 3 ft from the east, but the wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph and choppy. Energy climbs to 80 and then 113 by Friday afternoon – that’s moderate energy now – but the onshore wind ruins the surface. The period is still short at 6-7 seconds, so the waves are weak and sectiony.
Saturday the 8th of August is your best bet across the whole run. Swell holds around 3 ft from the east, 8-second period, with combined energy at 122-126 – moderate. The wind is cross-shore from the SE at 9 mph, so it’s a little bumpy, but it’s the cleanest it gets. You’ll get a few fun ones if you’re selective. Crowds are often here, so don’t expect solitude.
Sunday the 9th drops to about 3 ft with a light cross-shore breeze. Energy is still moderate at 147 in the morning, but it drops fast by afternoon. From Monday the 10th through to Tuesday the 18th of August, it’s tiny – mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with weak energy and cross or onshore winds. There are a few glassy mornings on the 12th, 13th, 15th, and 16th, but with no swell, it’s not worth the paddle. By the 18th, the wind goes cross-offshore from the WNW at 9 mph with a 2 ft NE swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds.
If you’re chasing something, Saturday the 8th of August is the day. It’s not pumping, but it’s the best of a quiet run.
Rusty.

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.
