The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it’s going to be a lean stretch around here. The good news is, we’ve got a few brighter moments tucked away, but you’ll need patience.
The first real chance of anything surfable – and I’m being generous with that word – doesn’t arrive until the 23rd of July. The surf window is quiet for a solid week before that, with nothing that’s really worth the paddle. So, we’re looking at a gap of about 6 days with no real recommendations.
The standout session, if you can call it that, looks to be the morning of the 24th of July. Tybee Pier is showing a 4ft swell from the east, with a period of 7 seconds and a moderate combined energy of 172. That’s not a lot of grunt, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the north, which should keep things clean. For a beach break, that’s not a bad combo. It’s exposed to the east, and the optimum swell direction is east, so the wind and swell are lining up. The water temp is about average for the time of year. This is your best bet on offer.
The morning of the 25th of July is another option. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the east-northeast, but the period is only 4 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a short, lumpy wall. The cross-offshore wind from the west-southwest at just 3 mph will keep it glassy, though. The combined energy is 146. It’s surfable, but not the pick of the week.
The rest of the days are either too small, too onshore, or just plain messy. The wind is often cross or cross-on, chopping up the very small waves. On the 26th of July, the morning is glassy, but the swell is only 1ft, which is barely a ripple. From the 27th of July onward, the conditions are mostly a write-off, with fresh winds and poor wave quality.
Crowds at Tybee Pier can be a thing sometimes, so keep that in mind if you’re heading out on the 24th.
So, in short: the 24th of July morning is the one to circle. Everything else is a back-up at best. Keep your eyes peeled, but don’t get your hopes up too high.

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.
