The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’re looking at the Tybee Pier stretch, and I gotta be honest with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet. There’s no real swell to get excited about, and the conditions are just all over the place. We’ve got a long, dry run here with nothing worth paddling out for until maybe the very end of the period.
First up, on Friday the 24th into the weekend, we’ve got tiny, weak waves. Swell is coming from the SE at a pathetic 2 ft with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 32 (weak), and the wind is a messy cross-shore. The water is a warm 87°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – feels like a bath, but not in a good way. Saturday and Sunday are the same story: small, choppy, and poor. The only tiny bright spot is Sunday morning the 26th, when a light NNW cross-off wind cleans things up, but the swell is still only 1 ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
The first full week of August is more of the same. We’re looking at day after day of ankle-biters. Monday the 27th is a complete dud with 1.0 ft of onshore junk. The rest of the week is a blur of tiny cross-shore slop. The wind is all over the place – from the south, then the west, then back to the south. It’s just not happening. The combined energy numbers are all in the teens or twenties, which is basically nothing. There is no stand-out session here. July 30th Thursday morning looks clean with a cross-off wind, but the swell is still only 2 ft – you’d be lucky to get a knee-high roller.
The last week of the period, from August 3rd onward, is a total write-off. Swell heights barely nudge 1 ft, and the period is often short. Monday morning August 3rd and Tuesday morning August 4th are clean, but again, with no swell. The best you can say is the wind is light, but the ocean is flat. For a spot like Tybee Pier, which is an exposed beach break, you need some push, and there’s just none.
Honestly, if you’re a kiter, some of these afternoons with a solid 12-15 mph cross-onshore breeze might look more interesting than a paddle. For a surfer, this is a long, blank run. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean just shuts down. Don’t hold your breath – forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
Rusty.

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.
