The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty grim stretch for Jax Beach Pier. We’ve got a long, lean spell ahead, with barely a ripple worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any decent surf. There’s a big gap of several days with absolutely nothing on offer, and the few tiny bumps that do show up are all rated as poor surf. We’re looking at a blank run of flatness that’s going to be tough to get through.
Things start off Tuesday, July 28th, with no real hope. A tiny 1ft swell from the ESE with a short 8-second period, combined energy of just 23 (weak). The morning is glassy, which would be a major positive if there was any wave, but there just isn’t. The afternoon gets a little bigger at 2ft, but it’s cross-off. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for the time of year. Wednesday and Thursday the 29th and 30th are more of the same – tiny, weak, and useless. By Friday the 31st, we’re down to 0.3ft. It’s flat.
The whole first week of August is a dead zone. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd offer nothing. Monday the 3rd afternoon sees a pulse of 4ft from the SE, but with a horrible 5-second period, it’s just a blown-out mess, and the combined energy is only 77 (weak). It’s not surfable. The rest of the days that follow, right through to August 12th, are filled with tiny, weak swells, poor wind directions, and combined energy values that rarely break 40. The best you’ll see is a few 2ft to 3ft days, but with period and wind putting the lid on any quality.
There is no standout. There is nothing on offer. The only honest call is to leave the boards at home, maybe take the kite out if you’re desperate on one of those windier afternoons, but for surfing, this is a total dud. The combined swell energy is almost always in the weak two-digit range, with a few days hitting the low three-digit mark (77, 74) but still failing to deliver any quality. For a spot that’s usually pretty consistent, this is a proper dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

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.
