Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fernandina Beach Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you right off the bat – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a pretty grim stretch for Fernandina Beach Pier. The entire 16-day window is basically a write-off for anything you’d want to paddle out for. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the energy is just pitiful. You’re looking at a combined wave energy that barely gets into double digits most days, peaking at a very weak 89 (on the 24th). That’s not surf, that’s a lake with a slight wobble.
The water temp is running a touch warmer than normal at 86°, but that’s the only positive here. For the first week, from Sunday the 12th all the way through to Saturday the 19th, we’ve got nothing but flat, weak, and poor surf. Swell heights are hanging around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with periods of 8 seconds or less. It’s just windswell junk. The wind does go offshore a fair bit, especially from the 17th onwards, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no swell to clean up. The 20th of July sees a tiny bump to 3 ft, but the period drops to a shocking 4 seconds. That’s pure slop.
The second week is more of the same. From the 21st through the 27th, we’re still stuck below 3 ft. The period finally gets a little better on the 24th and 25th, up to 5 seconds, which is still terrible. The energy numbers are a little better, hitting 89 on the 24th morning, but that’s still weak. The wind is a mess too, mostly cross-on or onshore, with the occasional offshore burst on the 26th and 27th. The best you can hope for is "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" on the 26th morning, with a little 3 ft of SSE swell and a 5 second period. That’s your only real window, and even that’s a stretch. It’s a long, flat, boring run. The forecast can change, but for now, keep the boards in the car and save your energy.

A general guide to surfing at Fernandina Beach Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
