The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's see what we've got.
It's a quiet stretch for the next couple of weeks. The swell is tiny and the conditions are mostly a mess of cross-onshore winds, so there's no classic surf window. The one that gets a mention is Saturday morning, July 25th. That's the closest we get to something decent. The swell is just 2ft from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds, so it's not powerful, but the wind swings light from the SSW, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. The combined wave energy is weak at 54. It's small, it's average, but it's the cleanest the lineup will be all week. The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is right around the normal for this time of year, so grab the boardshorts. After that, Sunday afternoon July 26th goes glassy with a tiny 2ft ESE swell, and it's surfable but very ordinary. Crowds are possible at the pier if it's the only game in town.
The rest of the time? It's a tough run. Through the weekdays we get a mix of light winds but the swell is tiny, or we get a bit of size but it's chopped up by onshore winds. The morning of the 27th has a 1ft ESE swell with offshore wind, but it's just not enough to get excited about. The 29th of July afternoon has a clean 2ft swell, and the 30th and 31st have some gentle offshore mornings, but again, small swell. The 1st of August afternoon sees a bump to 5ft from the SE, but it's coming in with a cross-shore wind and a short period, so it's messy. The 3rd of August Monday morning is the best call in the second week: a 3ft SE swell with a 7-second period and a clean offshore from the W. It's still only a 1 out of 10, but it's clean. The 5th of August morning is glassy but tiny. All in all, it's a lean period. If you're looking to paddle, focus on the clean windows when the wind is light, but don't expect much. There's a gap of several days with no real recommendations, so it's a waiting game.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
