The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ll be honest with you—Tybee Pier is pretty much flat-lining for the next two weeks. There’s hardly anything worth paddling out for.
Starting Tuesday the 18th of August, we’ve got tiny 1ft waves out of the southeast with a short 8-second period. Morning wind is light offshore from the WNW, so it’s clean, but there’s no power. The combined swell energy is only 23—real weak. Water temp is 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal. Not a surfing day.
This pattern just drags on through the rest of August and into September. There’s a slight bump on Sunday the 23rd of August—morning has 3ft from the SSE with a clean cross-off wind out of the west, energy at 90. The report says it’s surfable but very ordinary. That’s the best we get. Afternoon turns choppy.
On Friday the 28th of August, the afternoon swell hits 4ft from the east with a short 6-second period and moderate energy at 104. But the wind is a messy cross-shore and the conditions are poor. Not the kind of waves you want to fight.
Everything else is just 0.6ft to 2ft, mostly with onshore chop or weak wind. No standout day with clean surf and good swell. If you really need to get wet, the morning of Sunday the 30th of August might give you a tiny glassy wave, but that’s about it.
It’s a long dry spell, but forecasts can turn. Hang tight.

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.
