The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, giving it to you straight for Jax Beach Pier. It’s going to be a pretty quiet stretch on the water. Don't expect much until the first few days of August roll around.
Water temp is about 84°F, pretty much normal for this time of year.
Right now through the end of July and into the first couple days of August, it’s mostly flat or just little crummy waves. A lot of onshore and side-shore wind making a mess. Friday the 31st through Sunday the 2nd, mornings look cleaner with light offshore or side-off breezes, but the swell is tiny – 0.3ft to 1ft. Combined energy is barely there.
Finally, on Monday afternoon, August 3rd, we get a little bump. Swell comes in at about 4ft from the SE, but the period is only 4 seconds – that’s just weak windswell, choppy. Combined energy is only 41. It’s rideable, but barely, and with heavy rain that afternoon, it’s not a pretty picture.
Tuesday the 4th might offer a slightly cleaner afternoon – 2ft from the ESE, 7-second period, with a moderate offshore wind. Energy is still low at 46, so it’s small and weak, but the wind helps clean it up. Not a standout.
The rest of that week into the second week stays flat or tiny. We get some glassy mornings on the 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th of August, with no wind or light breezes, but the swell is basically nothing – 0.3ft to 1ft, energy in the single digits or low teens. The best chance might be Thursday, August 13th, with 2ft from the E at 8 seconds in the afternoon, light side-off breeze, and energy hitting 71. Still only "rideable" at best.
After that, the 14th shows 1ft from the ESE, but nothing consistent. This is a time to be patient. The break is a beach/pier setup, and when it’s that small and weak, it’s not even worth it for kiteboarding. It’s a dry spell for the area – happens. Keep an eye on the forecast.
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.
