The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Tybee Pier. I gotta be straight with you – the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. There’s a big gap of nothing good for the first ten days, just a whole lot of tiny, choppy leftovers.
We start off with a long stretch of nothing to write home about. From Wednesday, August 5th right through to Friday, August 14th, the surf is mostly below knee-high, with weak, short-period energy from the southeast. The wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, keeping things messy. The combined wave energy is all under 100, often in the 20s and 30s, which is just weak. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope – and I mean a tiny glimmer – comes on Saturday morning, August 15th. We’ve got a bit of a bump in swell to 4ft from the south, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy finally pushes into three digits at 116. The key here is the wind is light and clean from the WSW. It’s a cross-offshore breeze, so the surface will be glassy. But don’t get too excited; the waves are small and the conditions are still just "ordinary". It’s a beginner-friendly size, but it’s not a standout.
The only other session that might be worth a look is Sunday afternoon, August 16th. The swell direction swings to the southeast, with a 3ft wave and an 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to 128. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit cleaner than most. It’s still small, but that’s the best energy we see in the whole window.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, the setup at Tybee Pier is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the onshore wind and clean, small, crumbly waves. For a surfer, it’s a whole lot of waiting for something that never really arrives.
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. 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.
