The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and knots for the imperial crew. It’s a quiet stretch for the next couple of weeks. There’s a big gap at the start – no real surf to speak of for the first several days. Just tiny, weak leftovers.

The first barely rideable wave shows up on Thursday the 27th in the afternoon. Swell is 4ft from the southeast, but period is only 4 seconds, so it’s weak and crumbly. Combined energy is just 51 (weak). Wind is light and cross-off, so it’s clean, but honestly not worth the paddle.

Things start to look a little more interesting on Sunday the 30th afternoon. We get a 3ft ESE swell with a nice long 12-second period – that’s proper groundswell. Combined energy hits 164 (moderate). Wind is cross-shore from the southeast at 9 knots, so a little bumpy, but this is the first day that could actually be fun if you find the right bank.

The real standout is Monday the 31st morning. Winds go glassy, dead calm from the southeast at just 3 knots. Swell is 2ft from the ESE at 9 seconds, with combined energy at 71. It’s small, but glassy as a mirror. Perfect for a longboard.

Tuesday the 1st of September afternoon brings the biggest energy reading of the whole period – combined energy of 256 (strong). Swell is 2ft from the east at 12 seconds. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the east at 12 knots, so it’ll be choppy. For experts only.

Water temp is a balmy 85°F, about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year – feels like a warm bath.

Mark your calendar for Monday the 31st morning. That’s the cleanest window we’ve got.

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.
