The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s doing at Tybee Pier for the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty bleak outlook. There’s a big gap of flat, messy conditions right through the first week and a half. Don’t bother waxing up until Wednesday the 19th of August, and even then, it’s barely a ripple. Water temp is about normal for the time of year, nothing to get excited about.
So from Thursday the 13th through to Tuesday the 18th, it’s tiny dribble. Swell heights are sitting at 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with weak combined swell energy (mostly 7 to 29). Winds are shifting around – cross-shore, onshore, a few glassy mornings that just don’t have any push. Tuesday the 18th afternoon sees a pulse of 13-second period swell with energy jumping to 279, but it’s chopped up by a moderate cross-onshore breeze. That’s more of a kite session than a surf session.
On Wednesday the 19th of August morning, we finally get a little something. Swell is still only 2 ft from the SE, but the period is a solid 11 seconds, giving it a bit of shape. Combined energy is 86, with a light offshore breeze from the SW, clean faces. It’s surfable, but just barely. If you’re a beginner and keen, this is your best shot. Crowds are possible here at Tybee Pier.
After that, it’s back to small, choppy dribble through the rest of the month. Friday the 28th of August morning offers another tiny window – glassy conditions, 2 ft from the SE, period 9 seconds, energy 41. Again, just barely worth a paddle.
The second week is the same old story: small, weak, often choppy. No real standouts. For an exposed beach break like Tybee, that’s pretty normal when the E swell is a no-show.
Hang tight, check back later. Forecasts can change.
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.
