Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. This is a grim outlook for the next 16 days. There’s nothing on offer that’s worth getting excited about, so I’ll just tell you how it is.
The forecast period starts now and runs through to the 20th of July, but there’s a massive gap from the start right through to the very end with no real surf to speak of. We’re looking at a full 16-day blank run. The only break in the region is Fernandina Beach Pier (United States). It’s a beach/pier setup, fairly consistent but exposed to the swell. The water temperature is sitting at 85°F with a 2°F anomaly, so it’s a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
The whole period is a washout. Swell heights barely scrape past 3ft and even then, the wind is a mess. The combined wave energy is weak, never reaching above 100. For example, on the 5th of July, we’ve got a tiny 1ft ESE swell with a short 8-second period, a cross-shore wind, and a combined energy of just 41. It’s a write-off. The morning of the 8th of July offers a little offshore wind with a 2ft SE swell, but it’s still ordinary and the energy is only 57. That’s about as good as it gets, and it’s not good.
The afternoons are consistently ruined by onshore winds and choppy conditions. The 20th of July afternoon has a glassy 2ft SE swell, but it’s a weak 5-second period and only 23 energy. It’s just not worth paddling out for.
Because the swell is so small and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There’s just no push for a good wave. A blank run like this is more normal for the area, so don’t get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the garage.
Rusty.

Information about the Fernandina Beach Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Fernandina 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 Fernandina Beach Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Fernandina 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 (Fernandina 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 Fernandina 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.
