Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – this next stretch is about as flat as a pancake. We’re looking at a long, boring run for Jax Beach Pier.
The whole 16-day window is a dust bowl. Monday the 6th kicks off with a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE and a 13 energy rating (weak), and honestly, it doesn't get much better. The pattern is just day after day of ankle-biters. The biggest pulse we see is a measly 4ft on the afternoon of Wednesday the 8th and again on Friday the 10th, but that’s coming from the SE with a crap 4-second period – that’s windswill, not surf. The combined energy on that Friday arvo is only 53, still weak.
From Monday the 6th all the way through to Tuesday the 21st, there is not a single standout session. Most days you’ll see 0.7ft to 1ft, with that ESE windswell. The only time we see a "surfable" rating is on the morning of Sunday the 12th, with 2ft. That morning has a light offshore from the W keeping it clean, but the energy is still weak at 43. It’s barely a knee-high dribble.
Everything else is “poor surf conditions.” Periods are mostly 8 or 9 seconds, so there’s no punch. There is no groundswell on the cards. For a break that is *very consistent*, a blank run like this is a bit of a surprise, but forecasts can change. Right now, it’s hardly worth getting the wax out.
Forget about paddle surfing – with these tiny, weak waves and strong side-shore breezes kicking up a chop on the afternoons, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything else.
You'll have to keep an eye on it, but for now, save your energy.

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.
