The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Let me tell you straight up: the next couple of weeks at Fernandina Beach Pier are pretty flat and quiet. The water’s sitting at 85° right now, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. But the surf? It’s a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with very little energy behind them. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the first real standout doesn’t appear until Thursday the 23rd of July, and even then it’s not much to get excited about. There’s a big gap of nothing from the start all the way through to the 23rd, with only small, messy, poor-quality surf on offer.
The only day that’s even worth mentioning is Thursday the 23rd of July, morning session. We’ve got a glassy, calm morning with some 0.6ft swell from the SE, period around 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (74), and with the wind glassy and calm, it’ll be clean. But it’s a small wave, and the break is a beach/pier setup that’s exposed and sometimes crowded. The swell direction is SE, which is not the optimum NE for this spot, so the waves won’t be well-shaped. It’s really just a slight bump in an otherwise flat run. For beginners, it’s small enough to be fine, but don’t expect much.
After that, the rest of the fortnight drifts back into tiny, weak, poor conditions with no real energy. The morning of Friday the 24th of July has a glassy 0.4ft ESE swell, but it’s tiny and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. The afternoon of the 30th of July has a glassy 0.4ft ESE swell again, but it’s the same story – small, weak, and nothing special.
Honestly, if you’re a paddle surfer, this is a tough stretch. The swell is too small and too weak for any real fun. The setup is a beach break, so with the wind often cross or onshore, it’d be more interesting for kite surfing than paddling. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, it’s a blank run.
Rusty.

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.
