Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for Jax Beach Pier over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I won't sugarcoat it: this stretch is looking pretty flat and quiet for a good long while. The first proper surfable day doesn't roll in until Sunday the 12th, and even then it's tiny – just 2ft of weak, short-period ESE swell. The combined wave energy is a low 41, so you're not going to be pulling into anything. The water is a balmy 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the wait will be comfortable.

From Monday the 6th through to Saturday the 11th, we've got a solid gap of nothing worth paddling out for. Swells are tiny, under 2ft, with short periods and weak energy in the 13 to 49 range. A few mornings have clean offshore winds from the SW, but with no swell to work with, it's just a glassy lake.

Sunday the 12th is the first chance for a surf, but it's a one-session wonder. The morning brings 2ft from the ESE with a light cross-off breeze, keeping it clean. The energy is still weak at 41, so temper expectations. By the afternoon, the swell drops right off to a pathetic 0.3ft, so get out early or don't bother.

After that, we're back to flatness. From Monday the 13th through to Saturday the 19th, it's mostly blank with a few tiny pulses (0.7ft to 3ft) that barely register any energy. Tuesday the 14th morning is glassy with 1ft and a period of 9 seconds, but it's just not enough to get excited about.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 20th. Monday morning the 20th sees 3ft from the ESE with offshore SW winds, and the energy climbs to 47 – still weak, but an improvement. The afternoon gets a bit better: 3ft from the ESE with 7-second period, and the energy jumps to 116, which is moderate. It's still very ordinary surf, but it's the most promising window we've seen.

Then Tuesday the 21st is the standout of the whole run. Morning brings 4ft from the ESE at 7 seconds (133 energy), with a cross-off breeze from the SSW. The afternoon goes offshore with the same SSW wind at 12 mph, holding 4ft and 125 energy. The period is short, so the waves will be a bit weak and fat, but for Jax Beach Pier, that's the best we're going to get in this 16-day window. It's clean, the energy is moderate, and there's actually some shape to work with.

Honestly, for most of this period, you're better off taking the longboard out for a cruise or finding something else to do. If you're a beginner, the Tuesday the 21st swell at 4ft is fine, but the short period means it might be a bit messy. For experts? There's nothing here to get your heart racing.

Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it tends not to stay this poor for long around here.

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.

Jax Beach Pier is 2 km (1 miles) from Jacksonville Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Jacksonville Beach. Jacksonville Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
