Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Jax Beach are looking pretty flat and uninspiring. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and not much on the horizon to get excited about. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 85°.

We kick off Saturday afternoon, the 4th of July, with next to nothing – just 1ft of weak, short-period ESE swell with a cross-shore wind. The energy is a measly (36). It's a no-go. Sunday the 5th morning is cleaner with a light offshore, but the swell drops to 1.0ft and the energy is even lower (17). It's basically a lake.

This flat spell drags on. Monday the 6th, Tuesday the 7th, and Wednesday the 8th are all offering less than 1.0ft of swell, if anything at all. You'll be staring at a glassy ocean with zero bump. There's a tiny blip on Wednesday afternoon the 8th – a 3ft south-east chop with a period of 5 seconds, but it's messy and the energy is still weak (49). It's surfable, but only just, and conditions are pretty ordinary.

The pattern holds through the end of the first week and into the second. Thursday the 9th sees a 4ft SE windswell in the afternoon, but it's accompanied by a moderate cross-shore and a period of just 5 seconds. The energy climbs to (73), but it's poor quality. Friday the 10th is a repeat – 4ft of the same sloppy SE windswell in the afternoon (84 energy). The mornings are cleaner but with tiny, knee-high nothing waves.

Honestly, there's a big gap of several days with no real recommendations. From the 11th through the 13th, it's all 0.3ft to 2ft of weak, low-energy swell. The best you can hope for from the 13th to the 15th is a few 2ft to 2ft waves with a bit more period (8-9 seconds), but the energy is still paltry (41-85). The wind switches around, keeping things mostly clean, but the swell just isn't there.

The 15th of July sees the energy finally tick up to a (104) in the afternoon with a 2ft ESE swell, but it's crossed-up and messy. That's still not a surfable wave for anyone wanting a real ride. The rest of the run through the 19th of July is a total write-off – tiny 1.0ft to 1ft waves with basically no energy.

So, the picture is grim. A whole lot of flat, clean but empty water. If you're desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high ripple on a few mornings with a light offshore, but that's it. For the next two weeks, the only standout is a lack of surf. Don't hold your breath.

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.
