The Lowdown

Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a paddle at Jax Beach Pier. We’ve got a proper flat spell on the horizon, so don’t be holding your breath for any kind of quality session.

The forecast kicks off with a weak and messy combo. Tuesday afternoon, the 8th of September, has a small 4 ft swell out of the ENE, but it’s short-period stuff at 7 seconds, and the ENE wind is onshore. The combined energy is only moderate at 134, and that “risk tstorm” wind is only going to chop it up. It’s a write-off for sure.

We roll into Wednesday, the 9th, and it’s more of the same. The swell drops to 3 ft from the ENE, period still short at 7 seconds, and a cross-onshore wind from the ESE keeps things messy. Thursday morning, the 10th, offers a tiny glimmer – a 2 ft swell from the east with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. The comment says “clean,” and the energy is weak at 63, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but that’s about it.

After that, it’s a long, slow decline. From Friday the 11th right through to the end of the forecast on the 23rd of September, we’re looking at a grim run of tiny, weak surf. Swell heights barely creep above 2 ft, periods are short, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, often howling. There are a few glassy mornings – like Sunday the 13th, Monday the 14th, and Tuesday the 15th – but with swell energy dropping to just 44 or even 34, you’re looking at flat, wobbly nothingness. The combined energy is consistently weak, with values under 100.

The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is dead average for this time of year, so at least the water’s nice if you just want a float.

Honestly, the only standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Sunday the 13th of September. It’s small, only 2 ft from the ESE, but with glassy conditions and a 9-second period, it’s the cleanest the waves will be. It’s still tiny, but it’s your best bet for a longboard or a funboard if you’re just looking to get wet. The rest of the period is a total blank. For a break that’s very consistent, this is a real downer, but it happens. Forecasts can change, but for now, this is a solid two weeks of nothing special.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and maybe bust out the kite if you’ve got one – the wind is going to be strong enough for that.

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.
