The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening in the water for the next couple weeks.

Unfortunately, it’s pretty grim at Jax Beach Pier. The full 16-day window is a flat, poor-quality run with no real surf to speak of. There’s a long stretch with nothing, and even when the swell tries to show up, the wind kills it. This is one of those blank periods that’s actually pretty normal for this spot – the ocean just goes to sleep sometimes.

Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild going on.

Let’s take it day by day. Saturday the 5th we’ve got tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, but the wind is cross-shore and onshore, making it messy with weak energy (32). Not worth it.

Sunday the 6th is even smaller – barely 0.7ft from the east. Morning wind is light offshore and it’s clean, but there’s hardly any energy at all (6). You’d be floating. Afternoon has storm risk, and still nothing.

Monday the 7th brings a 1ft pulse from the ESE with a light cross-onshore breeze and energy of 19. Not enough to bother. Afternoon is a joke – less than 0.5ft.

From Tuesday the 8th through Thursday the 10th, we see a tiny bump. Tuesday morning has 2ft from the NE with onshore wind and energy of 37 – choppy. Tuesday afternoon gets to 2ft from the ENE, but it’s directly onshore and the energy is still weak at 67. Wednesday the 9th morning hits 3ft from the ENE with a combined energy of 101 – that’s moderate energy – but the onshore wind just ruins it. All poor surf.

Friday the 11th we get a touch of glass – light offshore and glassy in the morning – but the swell is only 0.7ft with an energy of 5. More like a pond.

Saturday the 12th has the biggest swell of the whole forecast – 6ft from the ENE in the afternoon with strong energy of 212. But it comes with strong onshore cross-winds at 20 km/h (12 mph), so it’s choppy, messy, and the quality is poor. Honestly, that setup is more for the kite crew than a surfer.

From Sunday the 13th all the way to Sunday the 20th, it’s the same story: onshore and cross-onshore winds, storm risks, and swell heights between 2ft and 4ft. The surf quality never improves – always described as poor. Some afternoons like Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th look a bit cleaner with gentle onshore breeze, but the swell is only around 2ft to 2ft. Thursday the 17th morning has a 3ft from the east with energy of 127, but it’s still cross-onshore and choppy.

There’s no standout in this whole window. Not a single clean, rideable day. Just a long, flat, windy stretch. Hang in there – it won’t last forever, and forecasts can always change.

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.
