The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.
Alright, looking at the next 16 days here at Jax Beach Pier, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a long, flat, and frustrating stretch. We’ve got a big gap of almost nothing worthwhile, so don’t get your hopes up.
We start off on Thursday the 6th with tiny 2ft ESE windswell at a short 7 seconds. The wind is a messy cross-onshore at 12 mph, and the combined energy is weak at 40. It’s just poor. The water temp is 82°, which is about average for this time of year.
Friday the 7th is more of the same – a little bump to 3ft, but still onshore and messy. The combined energy climbs a bit to 66, but it’s still not surfable.
Saturday morning the 8th is the closest we get to anything rideable in this first week. We see 4ft from the ESE at 8 seconds, with a light 6 mph cross-off breeze. That makes for clean conditions and the combined energy hits 155 (moderate). But the quality is still just “very ordinary,” and it’s not a standout.
After that, it’s a brutal run. From Sunday the 9th all the way through to Monday the 17th of August, it’s mostly flat, with heights barely scraping 2ft. We get a few glassy mornings, like on Tuesday the 11th with 2ft and glass, but the energy is just 31 – there’s nothing to push you around. You’ll be floating more than surfing.
There is a glimmer late in the game. The best on offer, and really the only true standout, is Thursday morning the 20th of August. We’ve got 3ft from the ESE, a long-period 10 seconds (groundswell), and it’s glassy – dead calm with a 3 mph westerly. Combined energy is a decent 125 (moderate). For a beach break, that long period might make it a bit straight, but with offshore glass, it’ll be the cleanest and most fun wave of the whole run. It’s still small, but if you’re jonesing, that’s your window.
Friday the 21st morning also has potential with 3ft at 9 seconds and a light offshore SSW breeze at 3 mph. Energy is 104. It’s a solid backup option.
Overall, it’s a tough outlook. The consistency is there, but the size and quality just aren’t. Hang in there, and keep an eye on that Thursday the 20th.
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.
