The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are bringing us at Jax Beach Pier.
To be blunt, it’s gonna be a long, flat wait. For the first week and a half or so, we’re looking at a serious drought. From now right through to the 22nd of September, it’s a real struggle with tiny, weak energy and messy wind. The water temp is sitting at about 82°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re sitting there waiting for something.
We’ve got a gap of about 12 days with practically nothing worthwhile. There are a couple of mornings on the 13th and 14th where it goes glassy with a light offshore, but the swell is only 2 ft with weak energy (42-57). It’s surfable if you’re desperate for a splash, but it’s nothing to write home about.
The one true standout arrives later. If you can hold out, make a note for the morning of Wednesday, 23rd of September. The wind will be clean out of the west at 12 mph, giving us a cross-offshore breeze, and we’ll see a solid 7 ft of ENE swell rolling in. The combined energy is strong at 614, and while the period is a short 8 seconds, the size and the clean wind will make for some punchy, fun waves at this exposed beach and pier setup. Keep in mind, at that size it’s getting a bit heavy for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, that morning is the pick of the forecast.
After that, the 25th of September morning flashes up with glassy conditions and a 5 ft swell (313 energy), but it’s a short period E swell. It’s worth a look, but the 23rd is the real winner.
So, to sum it up: you’re waiting a long time, but the 23rd of September morning looks like it could be a good one. Hang in there.

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.
