The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. It's Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Tybee Pier, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We've got a long, flat run on our hands, so let's break down what little there is to work with.
The overall pattern is quiet. For the next week and a half, there’s just not much energy around. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the swim trunks won't feel out of place.
From Saturday the 22nd right through to Monday the 31st of August, it’s a barren wasteland. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the waves are coming in from the south and southeast with periods so short they’re barely pushing any foam. The combined energy is weak, readings like 14 and 41, nothing that’ll get you out of bed. Winds are mostly cross-off or light in the mornings, which keeps the surface clean, but there just isn’t any wave to ride. The afternoon sea breezes and the occasional risk of t-storms just chop up the non-existent surf even more. This is a solid 10-day gap where I wouldn't bother paddling out.
Finally, we get a flicker of life on Tuesday, September 2nd. The morning shows a bump in swell to about 2ft from the SE, and here’s the catch: the period jumps to 12 seconds and the combined energy hits 132 (moderate). That’s a proper groundswell signal. The wind is light from the SW, which makes for clean conditions at Tybee Pier. This is the one standout in the whole outlook. It’s not big, but it’s got some shape and push, and with those light winds, it’ll be your best chance for a fun little session. The crowds are listed as 'sometimes', so you might have company, but it won't be a circus.
By Wednesday the 3rd, that little pulse fades. The energy drops back down, and the onshore winds mess things up by afternoon. Thursday the 4th has another clean morning with a tiny 1ft, but it's just not worth the drive.
Look, it’s a grim run, but don’t write the whole month off. The 2nd of September is your window. If you can sneak out that morning, you might just get a few.
Rusty.

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.
