Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. The whole 16-day window is a tough one. We've got a solid stretch from now until Sunday the 12th where the wave energy is just not there, with combined swell energy barely cracking 50 (33 being the high point). It's a long, flat patch. After that, we see a tiny uptick, but nothing that gets the heart racing.
Let's break it down. For the first week, it's all small, weak swell. On Tuesday morning the 7th, we've got a tiny 1ft ESE swell at Jax Beach Pier with a light offshore wind, but with only 15 combined energy, you're basically bobbing around. The afternoon gets a bit more size at 3ft, but a 4-second period and a cross-shore breeze make it a messy, blown-out mess. This pattern of small, short-period ESE swell and afternoon sea breeze junk repeats right through to Saturday the 11th. The best of a bad bunch might be Thursday morning the 9th (1ft, clean, 32 energy) or Friday morning the 10th (1ft, clean, 25 energy), but you’d be paddling for dribbles. Sunday the 12th morning actually offers "surfable waves" with a 2ft ESE swell, clean, and 42 energy – it’s the relative peak, but still tiny and weak.
Looking further out, the second week is even worse. From Monday the 13th through to Wednesday the 22nd, the swell drops off a cliff. Energy levels sit mostly below 30, often dipping into the single digits. Mornings like the 15th and 16th offer a clean, gentle offshore breeze, but with a 1ft or 1ft swell, it’s more of a paddle and a tan than a surf.
There are no standouts here. No big swells, no long-period groundswells, no dreamy conditions. If you're desperate for a wave, the Sunday morning on the 12th is your best bet – it's the only session that even gets called "surfable." But keep your expectations at zero. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so at least it'll be a nice swim.
Honestly, this stretch looks better for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, if the wind picks up enough. For us, it's a waiting game. A blank run like this is not unusual for the area during this season, so don't let it get you down. Forecasts can always change.

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.
