The Lowdown
Alright gang, Rusty here. Let's be real – the next couple of weeks around Tybee Pier are looking like a big, quiet bummer before anything worth getting wet for shows up.
Right now and for the next week and a half, it's pretty much dead. We’ve got a long stretch of weak, choppy slop with onshore winds ruining anything. The wave energy is barely a whisper (38-90). You'll see some small east swell, but with crappy 4-7 second periods and winds from the ENE and NE blowing 12-16 mph, it's all side-on junk. Not worth paddling out for.
There's a tiny tease on the weekend of the 20th and 21st where it goes glassy with light south winds, but the swell is pathetic – only 1 ft. The energy drops to a measly 17-39, so you're looking at ankle-biters. That's a float session, not a surf session.
The pattern stays flat and forgettable through the end of September. Winds will clock around, but there's just no juice.
But listen up, because there is a *glimmer* of hope at the very end of the outlook. On the morning of the 29th of September, we see a pulse of chest-high energy start to show. We're talking 4 ft of east swell with a moderate 7-second period, and the energy jumps up to a solid 188. The winds go glassy out of the north – that's a clean slate. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year. It's not a classic groundswell, but it's the first sign of life in two weeks.
Then, on the morning of the 30th of September, we finally get the one. This is the day to save. The forecast shows 5 ft of east-northeast swell, cranking the wave energy up to 283. But the real kicker is a gentle 9 mph offshore wind from the northwest. That’s going to clean up Tybee Pier beautifully, giving us some lined-up, punchy walls. The period is still short (8 seconds), so it won't have that deep-water grind, but after all this flatness, it's a beauty.
The bottom line? We're in a drought, but keep that morning of the 30th on your radar. It's a long ways out, so take it with a grain of salt, but that one has the makings of the best session we've seen in a while.
Stay patient.
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.
