The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a paddle at Tybee Pier. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 16th, and even then, it’s not going to set the world on fire. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, choppy, and onshore junk before that.
The first surfable window kicks off on the morning of Sunday, August 16th. We’re looking at a small, 3ft swell from the SSW with a short period of 5 seconds. The wave energy is weak (73), so don’t expect much push. The good news is the wind is offshore from the SW, making for clean conditions. The bad news is it’s inconsistent and tiny. It’s a knee-high kinda day for the patient beginner.
Monday the 17th morning offers a similar story: 2ft from the SSE, still short period (8 seconds), but with a moderate offshore breeze from the W. The combined energy is still low (68). It’s clean, but it’s barely there.
The most interesting slot in the whole outlook is the morning of Tuesday, August 18th. The wind goes completely glassy – dead calm. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the SE with a longer period of 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. The energy is still weak (57), but for a small-wave board or a log, that glassy morning with a long-period groundswell will be the cleanest and most fun you’ll find. It’s a true stand-out for the conditions we’re dealt.
After that, it’s back to small, weak, and mostly onshore wind until the end of the period. The morning of Sunday, August 23rd sees a little bump in energy (152, moderate) with a 2ft, 12-second period swell from the E. It’s glassy, so it’ll be clean, but the swell is tiny and the period is long, which for a beach break like Tybee Pier means it might just roll through without much of a wall. It’s a session for the log or the foamy.
Overall, don’t bother checking the cams until the 16th. The 18th morning is your best bet for a clean, glassy session. After that, keep your expectations low.

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.
