The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you about Tybee Pier. Look, I won't sugarcoat it – the next sixteen days are flat. Really flat. We've got a whole lot of nothing on offer, and the best you can hope for is a little ankle-snatcher if you’re desperate for a paddle.
Starting from Thursday the 27th of August right through, it’s a grim picture. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft, and it's coming in from the southeast with a short, weak period. The energy is pathetic, barely registering on the scale. For example, you get readings like 22 (weak energy) all the way through to early September. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, making it choppy and messy. There's a moment on the 28th with clean conditions and even a glassy patch on the afternoon of the 1st of September, but there's just no swell to push anything through. It’s like having a perfect golf swing with no ball.
We get a slight pulse of energy around the 9th of September, with combined energy jumping to 251 (moderate wave energy) and the swell height nudging 2ft, but it’s coming from the ESE with a 12-second period and cross-on wind. The wave comment for that whole period is "poor surf conditions" until the morning of the 10th of September. That Thursday morning is the only time that barely qualifies as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". The swell is 2ft from the ESE with an 11-second period, energy at 129 (moderate), and the wind goes cross-off from the WSW, so it’ll be clean. But with that small size, it’s a board-floater session at best for a beginner. It’s nothing to get excited about. The rest of the forecast is just more small, weak, and wind-affected junk.
To be honest, if you’re looking for waves, you’re better off checking the forecast for the kiteboarding crew – the onshore wind and small chop might be more their thing than ours on most of these days. The water temp is about 86°, which is over two degrees warmer than normal – proper bathwater for late August.
So, the hard truth: there’s no standout session. There is no "best on offer", because there’s nothing worth chasing. You’ve got a long, flat gap ahead. That’s just how it goes sometimes.
Stay patient.

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.
