The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for the Jax Beach Pier stretch. Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day run, it’s a pretty bleak picture. The surf is just not cooperating. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell with barely a ripple worth getting wet for.
Starting off this Sunday, the 26th of July, we've got a tiny 3ft ESE windswell with a short 8-second period, and the energy is weak at 120. To make matters worse, a southeast cross-breeze is chopping it all up. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is right on the money for this time of year.
Monday morning the 27th looks cleaner with some offshore wind, but the swell drops away to nothing – 1ft. That same tiny, weak pattern hangs on through Tuesday. Tuesday morning the 28th is actually glassy, which would be perfect if there was any wave to surf. The afternoon turns into a bumpy mess with an onshore breeze. The whole first week looks flat as a pancake. We get a little spike on Saturday the 1st of August – 4ft of short-period SE swell with a bit more energy at 59 – but it's accompanied by the risk of thunderstorms and moderate onshore winds. Not exactly pulling on the wetsuit for that. After that, it's back to mostly flat, tiny waves, and nothing with any real push or clean conditions aligning. The consistent theme is poor surf conditions across the board. There’s simply no standout day. The whole period is a big gap with nothing to recommend.
I hate to say it, but this setup is more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers if it gets windy enough. For now, keep the boards in the rack. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but as it stands, it's a write-off.
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.
