The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window from now through the 21st of August, there’s just no surf to get excited about at Tybee Pier. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the energy is low. It’s a real bummer.
Let’s start with the first few days. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are poor. We’re looking at a weak 2ft to 3ft swell from the southeast, with a period of just 6 to 7 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell. The combined energy is weak, ranging from 23 to 111 (the 111 on Friday afternoon is still only moderate energy, but it’s the most we’ll see). The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th don’t get much better. Swell hangs around 2ft to 3ft, still short period. There’s a glassy moment on Sunday morning (3 mph, glassy) but the swell is only 2ft and the energy is just 37 – it’s flat, really. The rest of the weekend is plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds.
From Monday the 10th all the way through to the end of the record on the 21st, the story is the same. The swell never gets above 3ft, the period is mostly 4 to 9 seconds, and the combined energy mostly sits in the teens or twenties. The winds try to clean up a few times – like Wednesday the 12th morning with a 12 mph offshore from the west, and a few mornings with light offshore or glassy conditions on the 15th, 16th, and 18th – but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The water temperature feels about average for this time of year.
Honestly, for a surfer, this is a run of days where you’re better off doing something else. The whole 16 days is a blank run. It’s not unusual for this area, but it’s frustrating. You could maybe get a tiny knee-high wave on a glassy morning, but nothing that’s worth calling a session.
Keep an eye on the forecasts – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
