The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with ya. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been lookin’ at what’s on the menu for Tybee Pier over the next couple weeks, and mate, it’s a grim picture. There’s a long dry spell stretchin’ from now, right through most of the forecast. Let me walk you through the full 16-day window.
We’re lookin’ at a serious flat spell here, with no surf worth paddlin’ out for over a week and a half. From Wednesday, September 2nd all the way through to the morning of Tuesday, September 15th, it’s just poor surf conditions – tiny bump and chop, cross-onshore winds, and hardly any energy in the water. Most days the combined swell energy is well under 100 (weak), with even the bigger, choppier afternoons only mustering up a moderate energy reading at best, like 312 on Wednesday afternoon the 2nd. But that’s wind-swell junk, not clean lines. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothin’ special to report there.
There’s a small window of hope on Monday afternoon, September 14th, when the wind drops to a glassy calm and the sea goes flat smooth. But the swell is a pathetic 1ft from the SE with a mediocre 9-second period. It’s still classed as poor surf conditions. Not much to get excited about, even if the surface is clean.
Honestly, for the first 15 days, every single slot is a write-off. I’d be lookin’ at doin’ something else with my time. The only faint glimmer comes right at the very end of the outlook, on Thursday morning, September 17th. We finally see some glassy conditions, light winds from the SSE, and a small bump of 3ft from the SSW. The period is a short 5 seconds and combined energy is still weak at 43. It’s labelled “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” with a score that barely gets a nod. Not a standout by any stretch, but after weeks of nothin’, it’s the best on offer – a tiny, weak, short-period swell under calm skies. For a total beginner, that might be a chance for a splash, but don’t expect any proper waves.
So there you have it. A long, flat, poor-quality run with just one very ordinary, glassy morning right at the end as the only real chance.
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.
