The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it's a pretty flat spell for Fernandina Beach Pier. The models are showing a whole lot of nothing for the first few weeks of August. We’ve got a run of days with tiny surf and poor conditions, so don't bother rushing out. There’s a bit of a pulse trying to show up around the 2nd of August, but it’s still small and a bit messy. Don't get your hopes up for any real standouts here.
The only time the ocean even looks like it’s trying is on Sunday morning, August 2nd. The swell bumps up to about 3 ft from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is 149 (moderate), which is about the best we see in the whole run. The wind is out of the SSW at 12 mph, which is a cross-offshore breeze, keeping the surface clean. It’s a small, weak day, but it's the pick of a very poor bunch. The water temp is a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in boardies.
The following Monday morning, August 3rd, has a similar size of 3 ft from the SE, but it's a short-period 6 seconds, making it weak and crumbly. The wind is still cross-off, but the energy is lower (76 combined) and the chance of a storm is there. It’s a back-up option at best.
After that, it fades straight back into tiny, weak drivel for the rest of the outlook. The entire second week, from the 4th of August onwards, is a write-off with flat, ankle-snappers and nothing worth paddling for. Unless you're a beginner wanting to learn in the sand, leave the board at home.
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.
