Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fernandina Beach Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this stretch of coastline. We’ve got a long 16-day window ahead, but I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the first week and a half is looking pretty grim for any real surfing. There’s a big gap of nothing special on the cards. The first glimmer of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Tuesday, July 14th, and even then it’s only just barely worth a mention.
From now until Monday, July 13th, the swell is tiny and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, making a mess of what little energy there is. It’s a real flat spell, so don’t rush to grab your board. We’re talking waist-high slop at best, with combined swell energy barely getting into the double digits (25 to 82). Not worth the paddle.
Things start to look a *tiny* bit better on Tuesday morning, July 14th. At Fernandina Beach Pier, we’ve got a clean morning with a light NW breeze going cross-offshore. The swell is a pathetic 2ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy of 68. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. If you’re desperate, you could get a few grovelly ones, but don’t expect any power.
Wednesday morning, July 15th, is similar. Still small, with a 3ft ENE swell at 7 seconds. The combined energy nudges up to a moderate 92, and the wind is a light N cross-offshore, keeping it clean. It’s the same story – surfable, but you’ll be working hard for every little bump.
And that’s about it. The rest of the 16-day run is largely a write-off. The swell hangs around the 1ft to 4ft range, but the winds are all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-on, and the scores are all zero. The best of the best is honestly those two mornings in the middle of the week. There’s no standout, no epic swell, just a couple of windows where the conditions are clean enough to make the most of the tiny waves. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
So, keep your expectations on the floor. If you’re itching for a paddle, the July 14th and 15th mornings are your best bet for a clean, if small, session. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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

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.
