The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for our stretch of coast. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean run. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves, so don’t go getting your hopes up for anything epic. The first real glimmer of something surfable doesn’t show up until the second week of August.

Let’s start with the main break, Fernandina Beach Pier. Water temp is sitting at a balmy 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The next few days are a write-off. We’re talking tiny, knee-high dribble from the 25th of July right through the end of the month. The combined energy is pathetic, sitting in the low double digits (47), and that's the best of a bad bunch. The swell direction is all over the place, period is short at 8 seconds, and the wind is mostly junk. It’s a classic “don’t bother” zone.

Moving into the first week of August, things don't improve. From the 1st to the 7th, we’re still looking at wave heights barely tickling 2 ft. The energy stays weak, with values like 31 and 33. There’s a bit of hope on the 5th of August morning with a clean offshore wind, but the swell is still just 1 ft with a short 7-second period. It’s surfable if you’re desperate for a splash, but “very ordinary” is the polite way to put it.

The only sliver of light comes on Saturday, the 8th of August. The morning is looking *glassy* with a calm wind, and the swell bumps up to a tiny 2 ft from the SE. Combined energy is a bit better at 52. It’s still not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the cleanest, most rideable we’ll see in this whole 16-day window. If you’re a beginner, this is your window – the wave height is safe. For anyone else, it’s a longboard or a foiler session. The afternoon gets ruined by a cross-onshore wind and chop, so it’s a morning-only affair.

The rest of the 9th of August is more of the same – small, messy, and weak. Honestly, this setup is so weak and wind-dominant for most of the period that a kite surfer might get more out of it than a paddle surfer, especially on those afternoon sea breezes.

Bottom line: a long, flat spell. Don't stress, it won't stay this way forever, but for now, the best advice is to keep the board in the car and the wax on the shelf until the 8th of August.

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.

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.
