The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a pretty flat and quiet stretch for the most part. We’ve got a long gap of real unremarkable surf ahead, so don’t be in a rush. The first few days have minimal, tiny waves – mainly around 0.7ft – with a mix of cross-off and light breezes but just not enough energy to get excited about. The swell is short-period and weak, with combined energy values stuck in the low teens (12 to 9). It’s more of a float-around session than a surf.
The first real whisper of something better comes on the morning of Monday 20th July at Tybee Pier. We’ve got a clean 2ft from the SE with a light cross-off breeze from the SW. The combined energy climbs to 52 (moderate wave energy), but the waves are still small and ordinary. It’s surfable, but only just.
The outlook limps along through the week with similar small, clean mornings but afternoons getting chopped up by onshore winds. The real standout – and the only one worth marking on the calendar – is the morning of Tuesday 28th July. That’s 9 days out, so keep an eye on it, but the forecast shows a clean 5ft swell from the south, period 7 seconds, with a light cross-off wind from the WSW. Combined energy jumps to 277 (strong wave energy), and the model says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the morning to aim for. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there at Tybee Pier.
Outside of that, the rest of the 16 days is mostly poor surf, small, and with onshore chop in the afternoons. The best of the rest are the clean mornings with 2ft to 3ft from the SSE or SE, but they’re just ordinary. Crowds are possible at Tybee Pier, especially if a clean morning lines up with a weekend.
Signing off, 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.
