The Lowdown

Rusty here, and I'm lookin' at a real tough stretch ahead for the next couple of weeks around here. Get ready for a long, flat period.

We're only lookin' at one spot, Jax Beach Pier, and it's a bummer. The whole 16-day forecast is just a big nothing for decent waves. It's mostly "poor surf conditions" right through.

The first time you could even think about paddlin' out is Thursday morning, September 10th. There's a tiny 0.8 foot swell from the ENE, 8-second period, with a real weak energy reading of 73. The wind goes glassy from the SSW though, so it'll be clean as a whistle. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and that's about as good as it gets. That's a rough start.

You get another chance on Monday morning, September 14th. A super small 0.5 foot swell from the ESE, 9-second period (energy at 43). The wind goes calm, so it'll look like a lake out there. You might catch a knee-high bump, but you'll be workin' hard. Then Friday morning, September 18th, delivers an offshore wind from the SW, but the swell is a pathetic 0.2 feet, even if it is a 13-second groundswell. It'll be clean, but you'll be lucky to stand up.

There's no standout here. This ain't about bein' too big for beginners; it's just too small for anyone. The water's about normal for the season. Don't worry about crowds at the pier with this forecast; you'll have the place to yourself. Honestly, if the wind picks up, this looks more like a place for kites than surfboards.

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.
