Alright, it’s your man Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: for the next 16 days, Jax Beach Pier is in a real flat spell. There’s just nothing doing for the entire outlook. The first few days are a write-off, and honestly, that run of tiny or no surf stretches all the way through. We’re talking a long gap with no recommendations at all.

The water temp is sitting at 85° right now, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

From Thursday, July 9th, right through to the end, it’s all small, weak, and messy. The biggest bump we see is a 4ft swell from the SE on the afternoon of July 9th, but with a terrible 4-second period and a cross-shore wind, it’s just crumbly junk. The combined energy is a measly 44, so there’s no power behind it. The whole period is plagued by short-period, weak swells and mostly onshore or cross winds. Even when the wind goes offshore or glassy, like on the morning of July 13th, the swell is just 1ft and weak. The only flicker of something surfable but ordinary is the morning of July 15th with a 1ft swell and a slightly better 9-second period, but it’s still barely a ripple.

The last week of the outlook is even worse, with several days showing zero combined energy. July 18th, 20th, 23rd, and 24th afternoons are all flat. With the swell being this small, the beach/pier setup is not doing us any favors. Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, you’d be better off with a kite on a day like July 24th afternoon when the wind is pumping 19 mph cross-shore, but it’s not for surfers.

Plain and simple: there’s nothing to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a bust for Jax Beach Pier. Hang loose and hope the forecasts change.

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.
