Surf: This damaged and disheveled pier has now gone, but the pilings remain, forming some reasonable banks. Tide depends on swell size and the usual north-side-on-S-swells, south-side-on-N-swells scenario. Usually best around head high at low incoming. Watch out for submerged pylons, etc. Ormond Beach is home to another 4-time world champ, Lisa Andersen.
