The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve gotta tell you straight up, it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap right at the start. From now until we get into August, there’s nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for. The waves are tiny, the winds are messy, and it’s just one of those flat spells. The water is sitting at 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, almost like bathwater, but it doesn’t make up for the lack of surf.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until Monday the 3rd of August. We finally see a bit of swell, around 3ft from the SSE, and the wind swings offshore from the WSW in the morning. It’s not world-class, but it’s clean, and the combined energy is a weak 52. It’s surfable, but ordinary. That’s the best we’ve got early on. Tuesday the 4th of August morning is similar, with a clean 2ft from the SE and a moderate offshore wind from the W. The energy is still weak at 58. After that, it’s back to mostly poor conditions and small waves.
So, the standout? It’s a pretty quiet period, but if I had to pick the best window, it’s the morning of Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of August at Tybee Pier. That’s your best bet for a surfable wave with clean conditions. For a break that’s exposed, it’s just not cooperating. The swell direction is from the SSE and SE, which is a bit off the optimum E direction, so the waves won’t be perfect. Still, it’s the only game in town.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off. After those few mornings, we’re back to tiny, weak swells with onshore winds. It’s a real bummer, but it happens. Keep your eyes on the forecasts.
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.
