The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Jax Beach for the next couple weeks. I’ll keep it real – it’s a slow season.
We’ve got a long dry spell with no real juice. The first few days, the combined swell energy is reading between 29 and 89 – that’s weak sauce. The only spot that’s got any reads is Jax Beach Pier, a beach-and-pier break, but it’s not doing much.
Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are flat. Saturday the 25th morning gives us a tiny pulse: 3ft from the ESE, with a clean light cross-offshore breeze out of the south at 5 km/h. It’s surfable but only just, with energy at 69. Nothing to rush out for. That afternoon the wind shifts cross-shore and it turns messy.
Sunday the 26th afternoon is the one little bright spot. The wind goes glassy, with a 2ft ESE swell. Energy is 50. It’s small, but that glassy surface makes it feel a whole lot better. If you’ve got a log, it might be worth a paddle. But it’s not a standout by any means.
From Monday the 27th through to Friday the 7th of August, that’s an 12-day stretch with nothing but flat, weak conditions. Swell heights rarely reach 2ft, and the energy readings are often in the single digits or zeros. Winds are sometimes offshore, but without any swell, it doesn’t matter.
If you’re into kite surfing, Saturday the 25th afternoon with a 20 km/h cross-shore might offer something. For a surfboard, it’s a waiting game. This sort of blank run happens here, but it never lasts forever. Keep an eye on it.
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.
