The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the outlook for Tybee Pier.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ordinary for Tybee Pier. We’re stuck in a long, quiet stretch with mostly tiny swell and messy wind. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Monday, September 14th, and even that is marginal. Basically, we’ve got a week-long gap of no recommendations before we see a faint pulse of energy.
The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Let’s break it down. From now until Sunday, September 13th, it’s all ankle-biters and chop. We’ve got tiny swell from the east and southeast, mostly around 0.7 ft to 3 ft, with periods under 8 seconds – that’s just weak, wind-driven slop. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy. There are a couple of glassy mornings on Sunday the 6th and Thursday the 11th, but with only 1 ft to 1 ft of swell and combined energy in the single digits (8 and 31), there’s just not enough push to bother paddling out.
Then we get a slight bump. On Monday morning, September 14th, we see a little 4 ft east swell rolling in with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits a moderate 145, and for the first time, the wind goes glassy calm. That window on Monday morning is the best bet of this whole outlook – it’s your one true standout. It’ll be small and a little soft, but clean and surfable. By the afternoon, the onshore wind kicks back in.
Tuesday morning, September 15th, offers another brief flicker. A 2 ft ESE groundswell with an 8-second period and light offshore WNW wind at 3 mph gives us clean conditions. The combined energy is 121, so there’s a little bit of punch. It’s still only for the patient surfer on a log, but it’ll be the cleanest wave of the late period.
After that, it’s back to small, messy easterly windswell through the end of the forecast. Nothing else stands out.
Honestly, if you’re in the area, pencil in the morning of Monday the 14th for a longboard session. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
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.

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.
