The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks here at Jax Beach Pier. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – we’re looking at a flat spell that’s gonna test your patience. The first real surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until the morning of Friday the 7th of August, so we’ve got a solid week of nothing.
From Friday the 31st of July all the way through to Thursday the 6th of August, it’s a ghost town out there. You’ll see tiny dribbles of energy—0.3ft to 2ft at best—with poor conditions and combined energy readings barely cracking 50 (weak). Wind is all over the place, but even when it’s clean, there’s just no push. For a spot that’s as consistent as Jax Beach Pier usually is, this is a real bummer. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least the water’s warm while you’re floating around doing nothing.
Finally, on Friday morning the 7th of August, we get a little pulse. It’s small—about 2ft from the ESE—but the wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit grovelly. The combined energy bumps up to 71 (still weak), but it’s something. That afternoon, the swell picks up a touch to 3ft from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy jumps to 138 (moderate). It’s not perfect, but it’s the first real window. The ENE wind at 15 km/h is cross-onshore, so it’ll be a little choppy, but you can get a few.
Saturday morning the 8th holds that 3ft from the E with a north wind, but it’s still cross-onshore. By Sunday the 9th, we’re back to smaller stuff, but the wind swings west and cross-offshore, giving you clean, tiny waves. After that, it’s a slow fade again into tiny, low-energy dribble for the rest of the second week. Nothing in this 16-day window is a standout. The best call is Friday the 7th of August afternoon for a few small, rideable waves if you’re desperate.

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.
