Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Tybee Pier over the next two weeks is pretty bleak. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell with poor wind direction, and the whole 16-day window is a flat, frustrating mess for anyone wanting a proper wave.
The water’s sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s slightly different.
The first decent chance comes on the morning of Monday, July 6th. We’ve got a weak 3 ft S swell pushing in with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 62 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, which will keep the surface clean. But honestly, it’s tiny, gutless, and with that short period, it’s barely surfable. It’s the only time in the first week where the conditions are even close to okay.
After that morning, it’s back to the same old story. Tuesday the 7th through Friday the 10th see a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds, mostly from the S or SSE, with swell heights stuck between 1 ft and 3 ft and periods of 4 to 6 seconds. The combined energy stays well under 100 (weak), and the wave comments all say “poor surf conditions.” There’s no standout morning or afternoon.
The second week, from July 12th onward, is a total write-off. The swell drops to 1 ft to 2 ft, the periods are short, and though we get some clean offshore winds on the morning of the 15th (W wind at 12 mph), the swell is just 1 ft with a combined energy of 17 (weak). You’d be lucky to get a knee-high dribble. The rest of the week is a mix of cross-shore chop and strong breezes, with nothing to recommend.
To be honest, if you’re looking for a proper surf, this isn’t the place. The setup with the onshore winds and tiny, weak swell would actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Save your energy and wait for a better forecast.
So, to sum it up: the only half-decent window is the morning of Monday, July 6th, for a tiny, clean but weak wave. Everything else is a gap of flatness and poor conditions stretching all the way to the end of the forecast. Forecaster, this is Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Tybee Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tybee Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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. If you surf the same spot (Tybee 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 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.
