The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for Tybee Pier. The swell energy is just pathetic, and the conditions are all over the place. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead, so don’t bother paddling out until at least the second week of August if you want something remotely ridable.
Right now, the water is sitting at a balmy 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bathtub.
We start off with absolutely nothing. Saturday the 25th has a weak 1ft ESE swell with a combined energy of only 25 and a cross-shore breeze. Trash. Sunday the 26th sees a tiny 1ft SE swell, but the wind goes offshore and clean. Still, the energy is only 33 and the waves are so small and weak it’s barely a ripple. Through the end of July and the first week of August, it’s the same story: tiny swell, poor surf conditions, and the highest score is a 1 out of 10. The wind is often cross or onshore, making it choppy and messy.
There’s a little glimmer on the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the SE, and the wind goes glassy. The combined energy is still weak at 41, but it’s clean. Then that afternoon, the wind turns cross-offshore and the energy climbs to 63. It’s still *very ordinary*, but it’s the best we’ve got so far. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s just windswell.
The real standout, if you can call it that, comes on Monday the 3rd of August. The swell hits 3ft from the SSE, and the combined energy finally breaks into three digits at 113 (moderate wave energy). The period is still a short 7 seconds from the SSE, but the wind is a light cross-shore in the morning. It’s the most juice we’ll see in the whole forecast. After that, it fades again. The morning of Sunday the 9th of August offers a clean 2ft ESE swell with a 55 energy reading, but it’s barely surfable.
Honestly, the whole 16-day run is a bust. The waves are small, the period is short, and the quality is poor. If you’re desperate for a paddle, try the morning of August 3rd for the strongest swell, but don’t expect much.
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.
