The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the straight talk for Fernandina Beach Pier. The next 16 days are a real bummer, to be honest. The first chunk of the forecast is flat-out poor, with tiny, messy waves and dodgy wind. The water’s a warm 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The only real window of opportunity pops up on Tuesday morning, August 18th. We get a little pulse of energy – combined energy of 68 (moderate) – with swell from the ESE at about 2ft, and a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. It’s small, but it’s the best we’ve got.
That Tuesday morning is the one and only standout. Before that, there are days of nothing. After it, the onshore wind and tiny swell take over again. The waves at Fernandina Beach Pier will be small and weak, but if you’re itching for a paddle, that Tuesday morning is your best bet. The light offshore wind from the WSW will keep it tidy. It’s not going to be crowded, that’s for sure.
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. Our Fernandina Beach Pier surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Fernandina Beach Pier) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
