The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s suss out what’s cooking for the next stretch, all the way through to August 25th. For Jax Beach Pier, we’ve gotta be patient. Real patient. This is one of those forecast runs where you spend more time cleaning your board than riding it. The first actual surfable waves don’t show up in a meaningful way until deep into the forecast window.

The whole thing kicks off with a whimper. Monday the 10th has a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE with a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 45 – just a ghost pulse. Monday morning you’ll get a light south wind, and the water is a warm 82°, which is right about average for the time of year. But the waves are so weak and short-period, it’s barely worth the walk down the beach. From there, it’s flat city. Days of zeros – nothing but tiny wind ripples and onshore slop. The score stays at zero for what feels like ages. If you’re itching for a wave, you might as well bring a book.

There’s a flicker of life around the 18th, but it’s cross-onshore and junk. Don’t bother. The one true standout for the whole sixteen days is Wednesday, August 19th. That afternoon, we get a 2ft swell from the ESE, but here’s the good part: the period jumps to 12 seconds – that’s genuine groundswell. The combined energy comes in at 211 (moderate energy), so there’s some real push. The bad news? Onshore east-northeast winds at 15 km/h and a risk of thunderstorms. That’s going to chop it up. The morning of the 19th has better wind but smaller swell with a slightly shorter period. So, if you want the biggest, most powerful waves in this run, it’s that Wednesday afternoon – but expect messy, stormy conditions. The morning of the 20th has similar height but less energy (88) and cross-onshore breezes. For expert surfers who don’t mind the rough surface, that’s your window.

Later on, Tuesday the 25th of August morning brings a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE with only 6 seconds period – super weak. Energy is 34. But the wind goes light offshore from the southwest, making it glassy clean. For beginners, that’s a fun little ankle-snapper.

Bottom line: the best quality swell in terms of power is that 19th of August afternoon, but it’s going to be choppy. The cleanest conditions are the 25th, but it’s tiny. A long, quiet period for Jax Beach Pier. Not unusual for this area, but still a bummer.

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.
