The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright crew, Rusty here with the bad news. Jax Beach Pier is looking at a proper flat spell that stretches out for the foreseeable future.
Honestly, this is about as grim as it gets for the next couple of weeks. You're looking at a massive gap with nothing at all on offer. The first little bump that might be surfable comes on Saturday, the 25th of July. But we're talking tiny, knee-high slop. The water is a warm 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, but that's the only bright spot. So, Saturday morning the 25th is your only real shot. The swell is a pathetic 2ft from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds, giving us weak energy (47). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW at 3 mph, so the surface will be clean, but there's just no power. You'll be paddling for nothing. From Saturday afternoon onward, it's a total ghost town. We're talking over a week of whitewash, flat calm, or messy onshore junk. The combined energy numbers are laughably low, spending a lot of time in single digits (like 21, 2, 8) and even hitting zero for a few days. There's one other tiny blip on the 7th of August with a 3ft swell, but that's more than a week away and the period is short, so it's likely to be a nothing burger. This is a classic summer shutdown. Your best bet is to wax the log for a chance at a few knee-high rollers on the 25th, otherwise, the kites will be having more fun than us on the side-wind days. For paddle surfing, it's time to find a river or a different hobby for a while.
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.
