Alright crew, it's Rusty. Let's level with you about this stretch of coast for the next couple of weeks. It’s a real slow burn. We're looking at a long dry spell of tiny, weak energy and winds that just keep messing things up. Don't get your hopes up for any magic sessions.
The first time it's even worth a look is the morning of Thursday, July 9th. At Fernandina Beach Pier (Fernandina Beach Pier), you'll find a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE with a combined energy of only 50. Winds will be light cross-off from the WSW, so the surface will be clean, but the report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." Hardly a call to arms.
Friday morning the 10th is a carbon copy: 2ft from the SE under light SW cross-off winds, but still a feeble energy reading of 52. The water is a notably warm 85°, running about 2° warmer than average for this time of year.
Then it's dead again. From Friday afternoon all the way to the morning of Monday, July 13th, it's all choppy, onshore junk. Monday afternoon the 13th offers a small reprieve: 2ft from the ESE with light offshore winds from the WSW and an energy of 67. Still, it's only "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions."
After that, we're back to flat and forgettable days with cross-off breezes and tiny waves. The biggest bump in the whole forecast hits on the afternoon of Sunday, July 19th: 4ft from the SE, but the wind is onshore from the SE at 16 mph, making it a messy, choppy mess. The combined energy is 85, still very weak. Monday the 20th finishes things up with a clean 2ft from the SE under light offshore W wind, but it's more of the same mediocrity.
For a beach and pier setup like this, with such weak surf and persistent onshore flow, this whole period looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There isn't a single standout session here. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Forecasts can change, but for now, don't bother waxing up.
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.
