The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the next 16 days for our stretch of coast. Straight up, it’s a quiet spell. We’re not talkin’ about any real swell action for a good while. The first few days are a write-off, with small, choppy, or just messy conditions. We’ve got a long gap of flat, low-energy water until we start seein’ a little pulse towards the end of the second week. The water temp is sittin’ around 82°, which is about what we’d expect for this time of year, nothin’ wild there.
The first surf worth paddlin’ out for won’t show up until the morning of Saturday, August 9th. Even then, it’s a small one. Jax Beach Pier is your spot, with a clean 2ft wave from the ESE. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. The energy is weak, only 62, so you’re on a log or a funboard. It’s not gonna get you hyped, but it’s a paddle.
Things stay pretty flat for the next week. The real standout, the one that’s got my attention, is the morning of Thursday, August 20th. Jax Beach Pier sees a bit of a pulse. A 3ft groundswell from the ESE, with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy jumps to 130. That’s a moderate kick. The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the SW, so it’s gonna be clean. It’s still small, but it’s the best we’ve seen in this whole stretch. It’s an exposed beach and pier setup, so don’t expect any magic, but it’ll be the most fun you’ll have all forecast.
A quick heads up: the morning of Tuesday, August 18th also has a clean 2ft wave with a light offshore wind, and the energy is 43. It’s a weak option, but it’s there if you’re desperate. The afternoon of that same day goes glassy with a 2ft wave, but it's still small.
Bottom line: It’s a lean run. Don’t sell your board, but don’t book a crew. The best window is the morning of Thursday, August 20th at Jax Beach Pier. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, but for now, that’s the call.
Rusty.

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.
