The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on the table for Jax Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough stretch. There’s a huge gap of flat, poor conditions that stretches from now all the way through to the morning of the 18th of August. We’re looking at ten days of knee-high dribble, onshore junk, or just plain nothing. A few windows might be glassy, but with no swell to speak of, it’s a paddleboarder’s paradise and not much else.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. That’s a week and a half out, so don’t hold your breath, but the models are hinting at a pulse of long-period groundswell. Jax Beach Pier is picking up a 1ft swell from the ESE, but the period is a massive 16 seconds. That’s a very long period, which means proper energy, but it can be a little weird on a beach break – the sets will be spaced out, and the waves might stand up a bit too quickly. The combined energy pushes into the triple digits at 104 (moderate energy), which is the most we’ve seen all forecast. The morning wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, keeping it clean. For a spot that’s been dead, this is the standout. It’s not big, but that long period means it’ll have some shape.
After that, the 19th and 20th of August see the swell building slightly. Wednesday morning the 19th brings a 2ft ESE swell with a 13-second period, but ain’t that a shame – the wind is cross-onshore from the N. The energy is up to 112 (moderate), but the wind is going to chop it up. Thursday the 20th is a bit bigger, with 3ft from the ESE and a 10-11 second period, but the wind is pure onshore from the ENE. Energy hits 133 (moderate) and even 141 (moderate) in the afternoon, but it’s going to be a messy, blown-out mess. This is more of a kite session than a paddle session.
We get a brief reprieve on the morning of Friday the 21st of August. The swell drops to 2ft from the E, period is 9 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the ESE. Energy is down to 63 (weak), but for a few hours, it’ll be clean and rideable if you’re desperate.
For the rest of the run into the 25th, it’s back to small, onshore, or stormy conditions. The morning of the 23rd of August is glassy with a 1ft swell, but the energy is only 26 (weak). The morning of the 24th is also glassy, with a tiny 0.5ft swell and a 12-second period, giving us 27 (weak) energy. You could get a fun little longboard wave, but it’s a micro-swell.
Bottom line: The only real standout is the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August at Jax Beach Pier. It’s the first pulse of real, long-period energy in two weeks, and the wind is clean. It’s not a classic, but it’s all we’ve got. The rest is a waiting game. Keep your eyes on the 18th.
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.

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.
