The Lowdown
Howdy, this is Rusty. Let me level with you about Tybee Pier. Looking at the next 16 days, we’re staring down a whole lot of nothing for a good long stretch. There’s a solid gap from now, all the way through to around Saturday the 27th, before anything even worth paddling out for shows up. You’ll see some small bumps and junk wind here and there, but it’s all considered poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy is mostly weak, with values like 27, 32, 19 – all well under 100. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll feel nice, but there’s just no wave to ride.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Saturday the 27th of September. The wind goes glassy from the WSW at 3 mph, which is a huge positive – clean, smooth conditions. The swell is from the East at 2ft with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to 85. It’s still just ordinary, surfable waves, but it’s the first time the report says anything is rideable. Later that same afternoon, a risk of thunderstorms rolls in and the wind switches, so it’s a short window.
The true standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Sunday the 28th of September. The forecast shows a clean setup at Tybee Pier, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the North at 6 mph. The swell fills in a bit at 5ft from the East with a period of 8 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 258 – that’s moderate energy finally. The conditions are expected to be clean, and it’s the best on offer by a long shot. This swell is at the top end of manageable for intermediate surfers, but still okay for a confident beginner. The afternoon gets dicey with an onshore wind shift and a questionable tide forecast, so get it while it’s good.
The rest of the window after that drops back off into poor small surf again, with no other highlights. It’s a long wait and a short blast of clean waves, but that Sunday morning is the one to chase.
Rusty.

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.
