The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s coming down the pike for Tybee Pier. Honestly, it’s a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks, so I’m not going to sugarcoat it.
We’ve got a long stretch of near-flat, choppy conditions ahead. The first real surfable day is a fleeting moment on Sunday, September 13th, but it’s barely worth the paddle. The swell is a tiny 1ft from the southeast, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, which is kind of a tease. The wind goes glassy in the morning, so you’ll have clean lines, but the combined wave energy is a measly 63—weak as a cup of hotel coffee. That’s the only window where the stars align for a bit, and you’ll probably have it to yourself, but it’s not a standout by any stretch.
The water is sitting at a warm 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.
The next real hope is a long way off. After that Sunday blip, the forecast drops back into a dead zone for days. The next half-decent pulse doesn’t show up until Friday, September 18th. The morning sees a bump in size to 4ft from the ENE, but the period is a short, weak 6 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore and clean, with a combined energy of 99. It’s surfable, but it’s more of a jumbled mess for a kiteboarder than a quality paddle session. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore wind.
The only other glimpse of hope is Thursday, September 24th, when the morning shows 4ft from the southeast with a 6-second period, cross-offshore wind, and a combined energy of 118 (moderate). It’s the biggest energy we see in the whole window, but it’s still a short-period, wind-affected swell, and the afternoon falls apart again.
Bottom line: There are no true standouts here. The best you’ll get is a very small window of glassy, small surf on the 13th, or a slightly bigger but messier session on the 18th or 24th. If you’re desperate and the wind is right for a setup, you might get a few, but this is a kiteboarder’s forecast, not a surfer’s.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Tybee Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tybee 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.

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 Tybee 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.
