The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Jax Beach Pier are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. The whole setup is a beach and pier deal, and we’re just not getting the juice we need.

We’ve got a long, dry stretch on our hands. Starting from Sunday the 26th of July, right through to Friday the 31st, it’s flat to tiny, with most of the wave energy sitting in the weak range (between 4 and 45). The combined energy of all swells directed here is just a whisper, and the swell period is short, under 8 seconds, so the waves lack any real grunt. You’ll be scratching for a knee-high bump if you’re lucky.

The wind does offer a few clean windows – like Monday morning the 27th, with glassy conditions and a 1ft swell from the ESE, but it’s barely enough to stand up on. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.

Things look a little more interesting on Sunday the 2nd of August. The afternoon sees a jump in the swell, hitting 4ft from the SE, and the wind is a moderate offshore from the SSW, keeping things clean. The combined energy climbs to 61, which is a step up, but the period is a short 5 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a jumbled mess. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Monday the 3rd is a total flat-liner in the morning with zero energy.

The second week barely improves. The best of a bad bunch looks like Sunday the 9th of August. The afternoon offers a 3ft swell from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 74. It’s a cross-off breeze from the south, so the conditions will be clean, but it’s still just a small, weak wave. For any of this to be enjoyable, you’d need a longboard and zero expectations.

Given the consistent lack of quality, the very small swells, and short periods, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. We just don’t have the swell to get excited about. Keep the board waxed, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
