The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our local stretch.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough outlook. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell for Jax Beach Pier. The first couple of weeks are mostly flat or tiny, with a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" staring back at us. From the start of August right through to the middle of the month, the wave energy is just minimal. We’ve got days with combined energy in the single digits or low double digits (10, 6, 0, 37), and that’s just not enough to get excited about. The first real whisper of anything comes on the afternoon of Tuesday the 4th, when a little bump of 4 ft from the SE shows up, but the period is a short, choppy 5 seconds and the wind is cross-off, so it’s going to be messy. The combined energy is 108 (moderate), but honestly, it’s still a pass.
There is one tiny window that might be worth a look if you’re desperate for a paddle. On the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, we get a bit of a reset. The wind goes glassy, coming from the NNE at just 3 mph, and there’s a tiny 2 ft swell from the east with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 57 (weak). The conditions will be clean, glassy even, but the waves are going to be small and weak. It’s a "surfable but very ordinary" kind of morning. A similar setup pops up again on the morning of Sunday the 9th of August, with glassy NW winds and a 2 ft easterly swell. Again, it’s small, clean, but nothing to write home about. The crowds at Jax Beach Pier can be heavy, so expect plenty of company.
The rest of the forecast is a graveyard of tiny, weak, or onshore slop. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there. If you’ve got a longboard and a lot of patience, those glassy mornings on the 8th and 9th are the only real chances to get wet. Otherwise, we’re waiting for a proper pulse. Hang in there.

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.

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.
