The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Tybee Pier has in store for us over the next 16 days.
Alright, straight up, this is one of those outlooks where you’ve gotta be patient. We’ve got a long, flat dry spell to kick things off. For the first ten days, from Friday the 11th right through to Sunday the 20th of September, the surf is tiny and the conditions are poor. You’re looking at knee-high dribble at best, with a mix of onshore and cross-onshore winds messing it up most days. There’s a couple of glassy mornings on Saturday the 12th and Monday the 14th, but even then, the swell is just too small to ride – we’re talking 1ft. Nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, we finally see a pulse of energy fill in around Monday the 21st of September. The combined swell energy starts to ramp up, hitting a moderate 171, with a 4ft swell from the ENE. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze on Monday morning, which will clean things up a bit. It’s surfable, but the quality is still just “ordinary” – it’s not going to blow your mind.
The standout window, and the only real highlight in this whole 16-day stretch, is on Tuesday the 22nd of September. Look at Tuesday morning: the swell is still solid at 4ft from the east, but the combined energy jumps up to a healthy 218. That’s the most juice we see. The wind goes glassy with a light WNW breeze, making for some clean, fun waves at Tybee Pier. It’s not huge, but for this stretch, that Tuesday morning is the one to circle. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for mid-September.
After that, it fades back into small, messy surf for the rest of the outlook. Wednesday the 23rd has a morning window with glassy conditions, but the swell drops right off to 3ft and the energy is weak. After that, it’s back to small, choppy junk.
So, to sum it up: if you’ve got a window, aim for Tuesday the 22nd. Get out there early for the cleanest conditions. The rest of the period is mostly a write-off.
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.
