Alright, Rusty here, checking the long-range for Tybee Pier. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a rough 16-day outlook. There’s just no real surf to speak of.
The water’s warm, about 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s good for a swim.
Starting Thursday, July 2nd, it’s a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, but the wind is onshore and messy. It’s a total washout. The whole first week is the same story: small, crumbly, and wind-chopped. Wave heights are between 1ft and 3ft, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making it bumpy. The wave energy is weak, just a 69 on Thursday, dropping to 46 on Friday morning.
There’s a tiny window on Wednesday, July 8th, in the afternoon. The wind goes offshore from the west at 9 mph, with a 3ft swell from the south. It’s clean, but the period is only 5 seconds, so it’s gutless. The energy is still low at 49. That’s the best of a bad bunch.
The second week, starting July 9th, is more of the same. A few mornings have a cross-offshore breeze, keeping the surface clean, but the swell is tiny – 2ft to 3ft. The afternoon winds pick up and ruin it. We see offshore wind on the mornings of July 12th and 13th, but the swell is still just 2ft. The energy is in the 40s and 50s – weak.
The one real standout, and I mean *standout* in a flat spell, is the morning of July 14th. It’s glassy, with a 2ft swell from the SSE. The energy is only 26. It’s a beginner-friendly morning for a longboard, but you won’t be doing much. Crowds are possible at Tybee, but with waves this small, it’ll be quiet.
For a 16-day forecast, this is a real bummer. There’s nothing exciting. If you’re desperate, look for the cleanest morning windows, but don’t expect much. The setup is so weak and wind-prone that a couple of those afternoons with a fresh breeze might actually be better for kite surfing. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s flat and frustrating.
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.
