The Lowdown
Alright, let me break this down for you. It's a pretty grim picture for Tybee Pier over the next couple of weeks. The numbers just don't lie, there's barely a ripple worth paddling for.
This 16-day window is looking like a total write-off. From the start on August 16th right through to the end of the month, the wave energy is just pathetic. The biggest combined energy we see is a measly 130 on the afternoon of August 27th, and even that is only called "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That's the best of a bad bunch, and it's still nothing to write home about. You're looking at a long stretch of flatness.
The swell is tiny, mostly hovering around 0.7ft to 2ft, and it's coming from the ESE or SE, which isn't the optimum E direction for Tybee Pier. The periods are short too, mostly between 4 and 11 seconds, so there's no real power or shape. A few mornings like the 18th and 19th start off clean with light cross-off winds, but the swell is just too small to do anything with.
Water temp is sitting at a warm 85° on the 16th, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But warm water doesn't mean much when there are no waves to enjoy.
Look, there is nothing to get excited about. No standouts, no sneaky windows. This is one of those stretches where you might want to find something else to do. The forecasts can always change, but as it stands, you're better off keeping the board in the car. We might get a bit more energy on the 27th with that 2ft SE swell and 130 combined energy, but it's still a long shot for a fun wave.

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.

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.
