The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next 16 days look pretty grim for the Tybee Pier area. We've got a long stretch of poor surf, and I mean really poor, from the start of August through to the 16th. There's a gap of no real surf to speak of for the entire 16-day period.
From the get-go, Saturday morning August 1st, we're looking at a tiny 0.7 ft swell from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 17 (weak), and that cross-onshore wind from the SE at 9 mph is just going to make it choppy and messy. It's a tough one for the beginners, but honestly, there's nothing for anyone here. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
As we move through the first week, the swell does bump up a little. By Monday afternoon August 3rd, we get a 4 ft swell from the south, but the period is a short 5 seconds, creating a weak, lumpy wave. The wind is a fresh cross-shore at 16 mph, so it's not going to be any fun. The combined energy finally hits a moderate 105, but it's all for nothing with that wind.
The pattern continues. Wednesday morning August 5th offers a brief moment of "clean" conditions thanks to a light cross-offshore wind from the SW, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft. You'd be better off going for a swim.
The second week of August is more of the same. We see some glassy mornings, like Tuesday August 11th with a light offshore wind from the west, but the swell is only 2 ft. Even the best conditions can't make a wave out of that. The combined swell energy barely cracks 30 most days, so the ocean is just flat.
Frankly, for the entire 16-day window, there isn't a single standout. The setup at Tybee Pier is a beach break, so with the constant onshore and cross-shore winds, and the lack of any real swell, this is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The forecasts can change, but right now, it's a long, flat blank run.
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.
