The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch for Tybee Pier. The swell just isn't showing up with any real muscle, and when it does, the wind is ruining the party. We’re looking at a long, flat spell that kicks off with nothing worth paddling out for. From Sunday, the 6th, all the way through to the end of the second week, every single surf window is flagged as poor conditions. That’s a solid 16 days of disappointment, I’m afraid.
The only real movement comes much later. We see a bit of a bump around Tuesday morning, the 8th, with swell pushing up to 3 ft from the East, but it’s a short-period windswell at just 5 seconds, and the wind is howling cross-onshore at 15 mph. The combined energy is weak to moderate (58), but it’s too messy to enjoy. That same pattern of onshore junk holds all the way through to the 21st.
There’s a moment of hope on Thursday morning, the 10th, with glassy conditions and a light wind, but the swell is only 2 ft and the energy is still tiny (39). It’s fun for a beginner on a foamie, but it’s not a serious surf.
The best of a bad bunch is probably the early mornings of the 13th, 14th, and 18th where we get glassy or clean conditions with a little bit of 1 ft to 0.7 ft swell from the Southeast. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about. For a spot that’s usually exposed, this is a rare dead run. It’s the kind of quiet that’s normal for this area when the Atlantic takes a nap.
Bottom line: leave the board in the car. This setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. We’ll just have to wait for the next system to roll in.

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.
