The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown in feet and miles. The local surf scene at Jax Beach Pier is looking pretty flat and ordinary for the next couple of weeks. We've got a real lull on our hands.
The water is sitting at about 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 2° above average. Nice bath, but not much to ride on it.
The forecast kicks off with a big fat zero. Tuesday the 21st is a write-off with no swell and poor conditions. We'll see a tiny glimmer of life on Wednesday morning the 22nd, with some surfable but very ordinary 3ft swell from the southeast, but it's short-period stuff at 6 seconds and the combined energy is weak (82). The southerly cross-off wind will keep it clean, but it's barely a ripple.
Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are a total bust. We get a few glassy moments on Friday morning with a 2ft ESE swell, but the energy is next to nothing (56). It's surfable, but you'll be doing more sitting than riding. Saturday morning the 25th and Sunday morning the 26th offer the same story: tiny, weak waves with clean conditions. The highlight of the entire 16-day stretch is probably the Sunday morning, with 2ft from the ESE and a light westerly wind keeping it clean. But let's be real, that's a log-in-the-sand session.
After that, we drop off a cliff. From Monday the 27th of July all the way through Wednesday the 5th of August, it's a solid 10-day stretch of flatness. There's a brief flicker on Friday the 31st of July with a 2ft NE swell, but it's short-period and messy. The best of that whole second week is Saturday the 1st of August with a 3ft NE swell and a gentle offshore wind, but it's still small and weak (66). The whole period is a long, flat run for a beach break like this. The window for a decent wave is basically non-existent. If you're a kite surfer, the afternoon south-easterlies might offer a bit of fun, but for paddle surfing, it's a tough outlook.
No standouts to speak of here. This is a classic summer lull. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, the board stays in the car.
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.
