The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break it down.
For the next week and a half, it’s a rough stretch. We’ve got a solid 10-day run starting now where the wind is nasty—mostly onshore or cross-onshore—and the waves are sloppy. There’s a big gap in quality from now all the way through the end of September.
The only spot we’ve got is Jax Beach Pier. It’s a beach and pier setup, very consistent, but that doesn’t help when conditions are poor. Water is about normal for this time of year.
If you can hold out, Monday, September 29th is your window. That morning kicks off with a light offshore breeze from the WNW—clean and glassy. The swell runs about 6 ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds, so nothing super long, but rideable. The energy is moderate (272), so there’s some push. With the wind cleaning it up, that’s the best session in sight.
Then Tuesday, September 30th is for the big dogs only. Swell jumps to 10 ft from the ENE, and the energy is massive (1129). The report says it might be too big for this spot. Winds are light offshore again, so it’ll look clean, but if you’re not an expert, stay on the beach.
That Monday the 29th is the real highlight. Everything before that is a waiting game.

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.

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.
