The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the forecast for Jax Beach Pier. Let’s be straight with you – it’s been a quiet stretch and it’s gonna stay that way for a while.
Right now, the ocean is just about flat. For the whole first week, from Monday the 27th of July right through to Saturday the 8th of August, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. We’re talking tiny waves, poor conditions, and the score is a flat zero. You’ll see a few 0.7 ft to 3 ft bumps, but the wind is often messy, and the energy is weak – the combined swell energy barely cracks 40 (40) at best. It’s a long, dry spell.
The first hint of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Sunday the 9th of August. Even then, it’s not going to get the heart racing. The morning brings a clean 2 ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds and a light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW. The combined energy is still low at 79 (79), so it’s weak. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a 1 out of 10 – a last resort, not a standout.
The afternoon of the 9th is similar, with 2 ft from the E, a light breeze from the SSE, and energy dropping to 51 (51). Still very ordinary.
After that, Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th of August are back to poor surf with tiny waves again. No real standouts on the board across this entire 16-day window. The best you’ll get is a marginal, clean day on the 9th, but honestly, it’s not worth the drive. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, no wild anomalies.
This is just one of those stretches where the ocean is saving its energy. Hang tight, the forecast can always change, but for now, keep the board in the garage.
Rusty.

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.
