The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let's get real. For Tybee Pier, the next couple of weeks are looking like a total bummer. The swell is just flat, and the conditions are all over the place. We're staring down a long, dry spell.
The water is a balmy 87°F right now, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze just standing there.
The first and only real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Wednesday, 2nd September. The wind is a light offshore, and the surface will be clean, but it's a real struggle. We're looking at a tiny 3ft swell from the SSE, with a short period and a weak combined energy of only 71. It's surfable, but only just. It's not going to be pretty, but it's the only thing that's even close to surfable in the entire outlook.
For the rest of the time, you're looking at a lot of days with nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is often cross-on and choppy, and the swell is practically non-existent. There's a glassy morning on the 29th of August, but the swell is only 1ft from the SE, making it a total flat spell. The same goes for the morning of the 30th of August.
Honestly, mate, it's a grim run. If you're a beginner, the tiny clean morning on the 2nd of September might be okay for a total learner session, but that's about it. For anyone else, this is a write-off. The lack of any consistent swell and the persistent poor conditions mean there's just nothing to get excited about. It's a long, blank run.

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.
