The Lowdown
Howdy folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat around here. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about, so if you’re Jonesin’ for a wave, you might want to look at other plans.
The only spot on the radar is Tybee Pier, and it’s a tough one. The water is sitting at a toasty 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—feels like bathwater.
The first real chance to wet a line comes on Thursday, July 23rd. The morning is looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is tiny—just 2ft from the SSW with a short, weak period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak (87). It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The afternoon turns choppy and messy, so get out early if you’re desperate.
The rest of the week and into the next is a total write-off. We’ve got days of tiny, weak swell (0.7ft to 1ft) and a lot of windy, cross-shore junk. Saturday morning, July 26th, has a little window with a light offshore wind and a clean 1.0ft wave, but it’s barely a ripple. The combined energy for that one is a paltry 18.
Looking further ahead, the first week of August doesn’t offer much hope either. The swell remains small and weak, with the best looking like a clean, offshore morning on the 30th of July (2ft from the S, clean) but still just a weak 43 combined energy, and a clean, offshore afternoon on the 1st of August (1ft, clean). Nothing here is going to get the heart pumping.
In short, there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The swell is too small, the periods are too short, and the energy is negligible. For a beginner, the tiny waves might be okay for a paddle on a clean morning, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, this is a bust. The crowd situation at Tybee Pier can be sometimes busy, but with surf this poor, it’ll likely be empty.
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.
