The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on at Jax Beach Pier.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days look pretty flat and quiet. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and mostly poor conditions. The first decent window doesn’t show up until the weekend of the 2nd of August, and even then it’s nothing to write home about. There’s no standout, no real day to circle on the calendar. It’s just one of those spells where the ocean is taking a nap.
Right now, on Saturday morning the 25th of July, we’ve got a tiny 2ft ESE swell with an 8-second period and weak energy (47). The wind is glassy from the SSW at 3 mph, so it’s clean, but the waves are small and ordinary. That’s about as good as it gets for a while. After that, the surf drops off hard. From Sunday the 26th right through to the end of July, we’re seeing wave heights of 0.3ft to 2ft, with periods mostly under 8 seconds and energy readings in the low single digits or teens. Wind is often cross or cross-off, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” There’s a few glassy mornings, but hardly any swell to work with.
The first tiny pulse that might be worth a look comes on Sunday morning the 2nd of August. We get a 2ft ESE swell, 8-second period, with moderate energy (42) and offshore wind from the SW at 6 mph. The waves are still very ordinary, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a week. That window is short-lived though – by the afternoon, the swell drops to zero.
Through the first week of August, we see a few more little spikes of 2ft ESE swell, but the period stays short (7 seconds) and the wind is often cross or cross-off. The energy stays low, between 36 and 67. Nothing builds into anything substantial. By the 9th of August, it’s back to 1ft and weak.
So, honestly, if you’re itching to get wet, the best bet is the Saturday morning of the 25th of July—just know it’s small and ordinary. The other half-decent moment is the morning of the 2nd of August, but that’s still a long way off and the swell is marginal. It’s a quiet stretch. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t plan a road trip.

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.

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.
