Alright, Rusty here again, breaking it down the old-school way. Looking at the next couple of weeks at Tybee Pier, it's gonna be a long, flat spell. The ocean's just not delivering much punch.
For the first two weeks, from July 9th through the 23rd, it's all tiny stuff. Swell heights mostly under 3 feet, with short periods and weak energy. The combined energy readings are in the teens, 20s, and 30s (weak). It's a real shame because there are some mornings with glassy, clean conditions or a light offshore breeze, but there's just no swell to ride. The water temp is running about 30°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Things look a little more interesting on July 21st, when the combined energy climbs to 104 (moderate) with a 3-foot southerly swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and messy. It's not going to be pretty. The first real window for a surf that's worth the effort opens up on the afternoon of July 23rd. We see surfable waves at about 2 feet from the east-southeast, a 7-second period, and a clean cross-off wind. The combined energy is 57 (weak). It's not a classic day by any means, but after so many flat, choppy days, it's the first time the stars align for a session that's not completely frustrating.
For the beginners, the biggest swell we see is 3 feet, so it's never too big. The real problem is that for most of this run, the waves are just too small and gutless to be any fun on a surfboard. Honestly, when the south wind kicks up, this spot looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
