The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, this is gonna be a quiet one.
Alright, look, I'm not gonna lie to you. The next 16 days from August 6th through to the 21st are looking pretty bleak for Jax Beach Pier. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special here. The good news is this spot is very consistent, so it’s not a total write-off, but you’ll be scratching for anything decent.
The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
For the first week, from Thursday the 6th right through to Wednesday the 13th, it’s a real struggle. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and coming from the ESE with a short, weak period. The combined swell energy is weak, often in the low double digits (28 to 61). The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, which just chops everything up. There are a few windows of cleaner conditions, like Saturday morning the 8th with a light cross-offshore breeze and a bump of 3 ft ESE swell (146 energy), but it’s still pretty ordinary. It’s the sort of stuff that gets you out of the house but not much else.
Thursday the 14th to Monday the 18th, things don't get much better. The swell stays small and weak. Thursday the 14th morning has a glassy moment with a 1 ft ESE swell (20 energy), but it’s tiny. You might get a clean little wave on Tuesday the 18th morning with a light offshore wind from the WSW and a 2 ft ESE swell (52 energy), but again, it’s marginal.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the very end of the run. On Thursday morning, August 21st, we get a glassy morning with a 1 ft ESE swell (37 energy). The wind is dead calm, which will make it look pretty, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. It’s a paddle and a chill, not a shred session.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s nothing that screams “go.” The best bet is to keep an eye on the morning windows, particularly those with a light offshore wind, but the swell is just too weak and inconsistent. It’s a pretty blank run for this area, but it happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d keep the board in the car just in case a tiny clean ripple shows up.

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.
