Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Jax Beach has cookin’ for us.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are pretty flat and bleak. We’re lookin’ at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf that really only starts to show a tiny pulse around Sunday the 12th of July. Before that, it’s a whole lot of nothing for over a week. The water temp is sitting at a warm 85°F with an anomaly of 2°F, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The Only Glimmer on the Horizon
The only time we get anything that resembles a wave is on Sunday morning, July 12th, at Jax Beach Pier. The swell will be tiny at about 2ft from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds, giving a combined swell energy of just 62 – that’s weak, no two ways about it. The morning looks clean with light offshore winds from the W, which is a big plus. It’s listed as surfable but very ordinary. This is a beginner-friendly wave at a very consistent spot, but you have to expect crowds here as they are often around.
That’s it. One small window. The rest of the 16 days are plagued by poor surf conditions, mostly cross-shore or onshore breezes, and wave heights staying below 2ft. The energy readings are all in the double digits, mostly below 40, which tells you all you need to know. There’s a big dry spell from now until that Sunday morning, so don’t get your hopes up. Even after the 12th, it fades right back out.
Keep an eye on the forecasts though. A blank run like this tends not to last forever in this area.
Rusty.

Information about the Jax Beach Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jax 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 Jax Beach Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jax 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 (Jax 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 Jax 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.
