Ormond Beach Pier is a well-known surf spot located in Florida. Though the original pier is no longer there, the remaining pilings create some interesting banks for surfers to ride. The vibe is laid-back, which makes it a popular choice for both locals and visitors looking to catch some waves.
The surf at Ormond Beach Pier is versatile, handling swell sizes from around 2ft (0.6m) up to head high. It works best with swells coming from the North or South, offering both left and right breaks over sand. Generally, you can expect good conditions around low incoming tide. If the wind is coming from the Southwest, that’s usually the best setup for a fun session here. This spot is particularly suitable for beginners looking to practice their skills on manageable waves.
When you're out there, keep an eye out for any submerged pylons left from the old pier. They can be tricky if you’re not paying attention. Also, Ormond Beach has some local surfing history, being home to Lisa Andersen, a four-time world champion, so you might feel some of that competitive energy while you’re out on the water.
