The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we’ve got lined up for the next few weeks at Jax Beach Pier.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty bleak around here. We’re staring down a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first real chance we have is on Friday the 4th. Even then, it’s not much to write home about. We’re looking at a tiny 2.3ft swell from the ESE, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at just 59. The morning session does offer a bit of hope though, with a light, clean cross-offshore breeze that’ll keep the surface smooth. If you’re desperate for a splash, that’s the window, but keep your expectations on the floor.
From there, it’s more of the same. We go through a whole weekend and into next week with nothing. We’re talking tiny waves, bad onshore winds, and practically no energy. It’s not until Thursday the 10th that we get another tiny glimpse. The morning shows a glassy, flat calm with a 1.3ft ESE swell, period of 9 seconds, and combined energy of just 50. It’s surfable in the sense that you could sit out there, but you won’t be doing much. The water temp at Jax Beach Pier is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit will be fine for the morning chill.
The long-range stuff into the second week stays quiet. The 13th and 14th offer crumbs of 2ft to 2.6ft swell, but it’s all cross-onshore and choppy. Nothing’s coming together. Honestly, for the next 16 days, this is a total bust for paddle surfing. If the wind stays up, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything else. We just gotta wait for a better forecast.

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.
