The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down plain and simple. For the next two weeks, the surf’s flat lining. No real standouts at all in this stretch.
Tuesday, September 1st shows 0.6m, 7-second swell from ESE, combined energy of 65 (weak). Wind is onshore at 15 km/h. Water temp is 28°, about normal for the year.
From Wednesday, September 2nd through Friday, September 11th, it’s a flat spell. Swell hangs between 0.2 and 0.4 meters, period under 11 seconds. Energy readings stay low. A few glassy mornings pop up, like Saturday, September 5th morning with 0.6m and no wind. The rating says “surfable but very ordinary.” That’s the best we get.
Tuesday, September 15th afternoon brings a little bump: 1.4m from ENE, short 6-second period, combined energy 128 (moderate). Winds are SSE at 20 km/h, cross-off, so clean. Still, it’s short-period wind swell.
Wednesday, September 16th morning is the biggest: 1.6m from ENE, period still 6 seconds, combined energy 220 (moderate). Wind is light onshore. The call is “marginal.” This is better left for kite gear than surfboards.
No real gems to chase here. It’s a quiet window.

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.
