Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ in our local waters.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch of 16 days is lookin’ flat and frustrating. We’ve got a long gap with barely a ripple worth paddlin’ for. It’s not until the morning of Saturday, July 11th that we see a faint pulse of life, and even then, it’s a whisper more than a roar.
Before that, from now through Friday, July 10th, we see tiny, short-period slop – swell heights never even hitting 4 ft, and combined energy mostly sittin’ in the teens to low 70s (weak). The wind is mostly cross-off or clean in the mornings, but there’s just no power behind it. The water temp at Tybee Pier is a warm 85 °F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only notable thing.
The one and only faint standout:
Tybee Pier (Tybee Island) – On Saturday morning, July 11th, we get the best (and really only) chance for a surfable wave. Swell bumps up to just 3 ft from the SSE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy (51) is still weak, but it’s the least-poor of the whole run. The wind will be light cross-off from the WSW, so it’ll be clean. That’s a positive. But let’s be real – these are tiny, weak, short-period waves. It’s a beginner-friendly morning, but don’t expect any punch. Crowds are possible here, ‘cause it’s the only game in town.
The rest of the period is basically a write-off. After that Saturday, it goes back to ankle-biters and onshore choppy junk. The second week (July 12th through the 19th) is all sub-3 ft slop with poor surf conditions and cross-on or cross winds. Nothing to get excited about.
So bottom line: if you’re desperate for a splash, sunrise on July 11th is your window. Otherwise, leave the board in the car and enjoy the beach.

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.
