The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real here. I’m Rusty, and I’ve scanned the charts for your local stretch. Honestly, my gut’s telling me this is gonna be a tough one, so let's call it like it is.
For the next 16 days, we’re looking at a proper flat spell. The surf is basically non-existent for paddle surfing. The first real shot at anything that even qualifies as a wave won't show up until Saturday, July 25th, and even then, it’s a struggle. After that, it's another long gap of just about nothing.
The only break worth a mention here is Jax Beach Pier. It’s a beach/pier setup, very consistent, which means it *usually* has something, but right now the ocean is just not cooperating. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is about average for the time of year.
The highlight, if you can call it that, is the Saturday morning (July 25th) glass-off. We’ll have a tiny 2ft swell coming from the ESE with a short 8-second period. The combined wave energy is weak (54). The wind will be glassy, which is a major positive for clean conditions. It won't be much, but for a longboard or a foiler, it might be the only time you can get wet without fighting a washing machine. Crowds are likely here, but for this size, most will skip it.
For the entire rest of the window, the swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the energy values are consistently in the low double digits or single digits. From Wednesday, July 30th, right through to the end, we’re looking at swell heights under 1ft. It’s just flat, flat, flat. The best winds we see are clean offshore or cross-off, but with no swell to push, it’s like having a perfect race track with no car.
Don’t bother with the afternoon sea breezes on the bigger days (like Saturday the 25th afternoon at 3ft and 155 energy) – it’s a cross-shore mess. Honestly, with these conditions, a kite surfer might have more fun on a breezy afternoon than a paddle surfer will all month.

A general guide to surfing at Jax Beach Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
