The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be honest here. It ain’t lookin’ good. We’ve got a pretty barren run ahead at Tybee Pier. The forecast is a long stretch of small, weak waves and messy conditions. The only time we see any real size is right at the very end, over a week away, but even that comes with its own problems. Let’s break it down.
Right now, and for the next week and a half, we’re looking at tiny surf, mostly under 3 ft, with a lot of cross-onshore and onshore wind. That’s a recipe for lumpy, choppy slop. The water temp is sittin’ at a very warm 87°, which is about 4° warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s nice for a swim, but not for ridin’. The combined swell energy is weak, rarely even cracking triple digits (19 to 96). The swell period is short too, mostly between 4 and 7 seconds. This is all short-period windswell and it’s just not gonna have any push or shape. It’s a tough slog. There will be days in there where the wind lays down and it gets clean, like the mornings of the 2nd, 3rd, and a few others, but the waves will be tiny. You’ll be on a foam board if you’re keen, and you’ll be workin’ hard for a two-second ride.
Now, the one glimmer of hope is way out there, on Sunday the 16th of August. The morning kicks off with a 5 ft swell from the east, and by the afternoon it bumps up to just over 5 ft. The period stretches out to 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps up to 199 and then 242. That is moderate energy and is a noticeable step up from the rest of the run. The wind is light, but it's cross-on, which will keep the surface a bit bumpy. Still, this is the only time in the 16-day window where there's enough water moving to actually be worth a look, but it's a long way off and that forecast is less certain. If the wind co-operates, it could be the best we get, but the crowd might have the same idea.
All in all, it’s a long, lean patch. The forecast shows no real quality on offer. The best bet is to keep an eye on that 16th, and hope the wind gods sort it out.

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.
