The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim start. We’re looking at a long stretch of lacklustre conditions with very little to get excited about. The first real surfable day doesn’t show up until Sunday, September 20th. That’s a solid 11-day gap of nothing but small, choppy, or messy waves. The early period is dominated by weak, short-period swells, mostly from the east, and the wind is rarely your friend. The combined wave energy is weak, often dropping into double digits, with a few mid-week days barely hitting 50 (combined energy). The water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but nothing crazy.
The standout of the entire window is the morning of Sunday, September 20th. For the first time, we get a solid pulse of swell from the ENE at 5ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 299, and the wind is light and offshore from the WSW. That’s going to clean things up nicely at Jax Beach Pier. It’s a beach/pier setup, so with that moderate energy and a clean face, it’s the best bet for anyone wanting a proper session. The crowd factor is “often,” so expect company, but it’ll be worth it.
The following morning, Monday, September 21st, looks promising too. The swell builds to 8ft from the ENE, with a 10-second period, and the energy rockets to 1051. That’s a lot of power. The wind is light and cross from the SE, but at that size, it’s going to be a handful. Over 8ft is expert territory, and this is close. The morning looks better than the afternoon, which gets cross-onshore and choppy.
Tuesday, September 22nd morning also offers a clean window with a 6ft NE swell, offshore SW wind, and a moderate energy of 499. Another solid option for the experienced crew.
Beyond that, the second week fades back into smaller, less organised swell with onshore winds. Nothing else really stands out as a must-surf moment.
So, if you can wait, the weekend of the 20th and 21st is your window. The morning of the 20th is the cleanest, best all-round bet. The 21st morning has more power but will be tougher. The rest of the time? I’d just keep the board in the car and hope for a change.
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.
