The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you, it's one of those stretches where you might want to keep the board in the car but leave it on the racks. We've got a long, quiet spell ahead.
Right now, and for most of this week, Jax Beach Pier is flat. We're talking tiny dribbles. Wednesday the 29th has a weak 1ft of short-period ESE windswell, but that south wind at 15 mph is just messy. It's a no-go. We roll right through a bunch of days where the combined energy is basically zero. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st still only show that tiny 0.6ft to 1ft stuff. Saturday the 1st of August tries to muster a 2ft SE swell, but that period is a pathetic 4 seconds – just closeout slop with a risk of thunderstorms. You’re looking at a good 5-6 day gap with absolutely nothing worth paddling for.
Finally, on Sunday the 2nd of August, we get a bit of a pulse. The afternoon brings a 4ft SE swell, but the period is still a short 5 seconds, so it's not got any real grunt. The offshore wind is a nice 9 mph from the WSW, which will clean it up. The combined energy is only 68 – weak stuff. It's surfable, but you'll be scratching for any kind of shape.
Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are poor again with the energy dropping right back off. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are still below average.
There is a slight uptick around Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August. We see a 4-4ft swell from the East and ESE with periods creeping up to 8-9 seconds. The combined energy finally gets into triple digits, hitting around 214, which is moderate energy. That's the most grunt we see in the whole run. But here's the kicker – the wind is cross-onshore from the East and ESE the whole time, so expect choppy, bumpy conditions. It's not going to be pretty.
So to be honest, there is no standout window here. The swell that does show up is mostly short-period slop, and the winds are rarely working in our favor at this exposed beach break. The water temp is a warm 84° on the first day, which is about average for the time of year. There are a few moments it might be rideable, but nothing I'd call good. For a spot that's usually very consistent, this is a rare flat spell. It won't stay this way forever.
Rusty out.

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.
