The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up, it's Rusty. The next sixteen days here are a tough beat. We’ve got a long, flat spell to start, with nothing doing until the very end of the window. Don't hold your breath.
First up, the water at Jax Beach Pier is sitting at a warm 84°F with a temperature anomaly of just 0.2°F, so it’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect for this time of year.
From now through to the 13th of August, it’s a total write-off. We’re looking at a solid week and a half of nothing but tiny, weak waves or flatness. The combined energy barely registers, often sitting at single-digit values. The wind is a mix of onshore and cross-shore, and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions." You’d be better off taking the board in for a repair or just hanging out at the beach with a towel. There is simply no surf on offer.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the end. On the morning of Friday the 14th of August, we finally see something. A chest-high 5ft swell from the ENE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 232, which is solid moderate energy. The wind is a light offshore from the SSW, making for clean conditions. This is the only standout in the whole run. It’s not a world-class day, but after all that flatness, it’s going to feel like a gift. The size is manageable for most, but the short period means it’ll be a bit bumpy and won't hold its shape like a proper groundswell. However, the clean conditions will make it surfable and fun. The afternoon turns onshore, so get out there early.
After that, the 15th and 16th drop back to knee-high, ordinary leftovers. The 16 days end with a whimper, not a bang.
So, save your energy for the morning of the 14th. That’s your one shot.
Rusty.

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.
