The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breaking it down for the imperial crew. Ormond Beach is looking at a long, quiet stretch with very little to get stoked about. From now until around August 21st, there’s a big gap of weak, messy surf and winds that just won’t cooperate. Not a good time for a paddle.
Starting off Thursday, August 6th, we’ve got tiny swell at 1 ft from the SW with onshore wind. The combined energy is only 103, real weak stuff. Water temp is 70°, which is 7° warmer than normal – that’s a big anomaly, very unusual. The rest of the first week stays small, 1 ft to 2 ft, with onshore and cross-onshore winds. Saturday morning, August 8th, shows a pulse of 2 ft at 18 seconds from the SSW – a long period groundswell that can break straight on a beach/jetty. It’s only marginal, with light onshore wind.
The second week looks the same: swell from 2 ft to 3 ft from the SSW, winds out of the SW, WSW, or W, mostly cross-onshore or onshore. Combined energy hits the 300s and 500s around the 14th and 15th, but without clean wind, it’s just not going to shape up.
The only bright spot is Friday morning, August 21st. The wind goes glassy out of the SSW at 3 mph. The swell’s still tiny at 2 ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, combined energy 195 (weak). It’s surfable but very ordinary. That’s the pick of the bunch, but it’s not saying much. For a break that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a long dry spell. Forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope entirely, but for now, I’d find something else to do.

Information about the Ormond Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ormond Beach 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 can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ormond Beach 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) 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 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 is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Port Hueneme. If you plan a vacation in Ventura County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Port Hueneme. Port Hueneme has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
