The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one to call. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, for anyone wanting a proper paddle, it's going to be a long wait.
For the first week and a half, we're staring at a whole lot of nothing. The energy is flat, the swell is tiny, and the conditions are just not there. We have a gap from now until the end of July with no real surf to speak of. It's a frustrating stretch for the local crew. The water temp is sitting around 84°, which is right on the money for this time of year, so at least a swim is nice.
For Fernandina Beach Pier, the only glimmer of hope shows up much later. We've got a potential window on Sunday morning, August 2nd. The swell will be a meek 3ft from the SE, with a weak period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is still very low at just 99. You'll get some surfable but very ordinary waves. The wind is light from the West, keeping it clean offshore, so it won't be a complete mess. But don't get your hopes up for anything with real power. It's a beginner-friendly height, but with that short period, the waves will be a bit weak and fat. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have some company for these small, clean waves. A couple of other mornings, like August 5th or 8th, offer glassy conditions but with even less swell and shorter period – not really worth the effort for a surfer.
That morning of August 2nd is the only standout, and it's a marginal one. With such poor energy levels and tiny swell for the rest of the 16 days, this area is looking like a better bet for a beach day than a surf session. The forecasts can always change, but for now, it’s a blank run.

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.
