The Lowdown

Alright, folks, it's Rusty here, and I've sifted through the numbers for our local patch. Let’s be straight with each other: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. The energy is just not getting its act together, and we've got a lot of flat, unexciting days ahead.

For the whole 16-day window, the only real glimmer of hope comes from Jax Beach Pier. This spot is very consistent, but with the tiny swell we're seeing, that just means a lot of very small, weak days. It's an exposed beach and pier setup, and it's been pretty quiet.

We kick off the period with a proper dud. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are a write-off—cross-onshore junk and rain with swell barely reaching 1 ft to 3 ft. The energy is pitiful, with readings in the teens and twenties. Not worth a second look.

Things start to look a *little* interesting on Thursday morning, September 10th. We get a brief taste of glassy conditions with a light SSE breeze. The swell is still tiny at 2 ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a measly (73), and the report itself calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's a 1 out of 10 kind of morning. It's tiny, it's weak, but it’s glassy. If you are absolutely desperate to get wet, this is your window, but keep your expectations in the car.

The rest of the first week is grim. Offshore winds on Friday and Saturday with swell around 1 ft just aren't enough to push a wave through. We've got a long gap of mid-week flatness.

Heading into the second week, there's another small, glassy moment on Monday the 14th—2 ft from the ESE with a 9-second period. Again, the combined energy is very weak at (45) and the report is the same: "surfable but very ordinary." It’s a clean little ankle-snapper at best.

Then, a long dry spell. Days pass with nothing but tiny, cross-onshore chop. It isn’t until Saturday morning, September 19th that we see another slight pulse. A clean 3 ft from the ENE with a short 6-second period. The energy is (86), which is still weak, but it’s rideable for a log. An offshore WSW wind on Sunday the 20th keeps it clean for the morning, 3 ft from the E, but still with a poor 6-second period.

After that, the whole show fades back to nothing. The last few days are just tiny, onshore junk.

Honestly, the best "surf" on offer is the glassy Thursday the 10th morning, but it's so small it’s barely a wave. It’s a “bring the log and don’t expect much” kind of day. You could also have a go on the 14th or the 19th morning, but it's all the same story: very clean, but very small. If you have a kite, the windier afternoons with more swell might look more interesting to you than to a surfer. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.

Stay frosty.
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.

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.
