The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Tybee Pier are looking pretty flat and grim. There’s no real swell to speak of, and nothing’s getting a recommendation. The water is roasting at 87° – that’s 4° warmer than usual, much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your wetsuit if you wear one.
We’ve got a long stretch of weak surf ahead. From Sunday the 26th of July all the way through to Monday the 10th of August, the combined energy of all swells directed here barely cracks triple digits, with most readings sitting between 11 and 88 (weak energy). The highest bump we see is a modest 175 on the afternoon of Sunday the 2nd of August, but that’s still just 4ft of short-period, 6-second windswell from the south, and it’s accompanied by a risk of thunderstorms and a moderate cross-shore wind. That’s not surf worth paddling for.
Most mornings offer glassy or clean conditions, like the 27th of July (Monday morning) with glassy 1ft, or the 5th of August (Wednesday morning) with glassy 2ft, but the swell is tiny and the period is short (4 to 8 seconds). The waves are just too small and weak to do anything with. Even the few afternoons with a little more size, like the 2nd of August afternoon, are messy and choppy.
There are no standouts here. Tybee Pier is an exposed beach break, and with the swell this small and the period this short, it’s barely a ripple. If you’ve got a kite, the afternoon of the 2nd of August might give you something to play with, but for paddle surfing, it’s a write-off. The good news is, this area tends not to stay this poor for long, so forecasts can change. For now, keep the board in the car and wait.

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.
