The Lowdown

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s call a spade a spade – Jax Beach Pier is looking at a long, flat, and pretty unimpressive stretch over the next 16 days.

Kicking off this Sunday morning (August 9th), we’ve got the best of a bad bunch. A tiny 2ft swell out of the ESE with a short 8-second period. The wave energy is weak (64), and a light S cross-off wind keeps the surface clean. Water temp is 82°, which is normal. You might snag a few little knee-high rollers on a longboard, but that’s about the ceiling. By the afternoon, the wind turns SE and picks up, ruining it with onshore bumps and a chance of thunder.

From Monday the 10th all the way through to Saturday the 22nd, it’s a desert. We’re looking at swell heights barely hitting 1ft or 1ft, with energy readings in the single digits most days. There’s a couple of glassy mornings (like on the 16th and 18th), but with waves at 0.3ft and 2ft respectively, it’s just flat or shin-high slop. Don’t bother.

The only other faint pulse comes way out on Thursday morning, August 20th. We see a 2ft ESE swell with a longer 12-second period, giving us a moderate energy reading of 107. The wind is glassy from the east. Still, 2ft at a beach break with a longer period is often weak and closes out. It’s surfable, but nothing special.

Bottom line: there is no standout day here. Your best shots are the early hours of August 9th and maybe August 20th. Otherwise, this is a long two-week lull. It’s a tough run for our break, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

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.
