The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window for Tybee Pier is looking pretty grim. We’re stuck in a pattern of small, weak swell and wind that just won’t play nice. There’s no real standout session, but let’s walk through what’s on offer.
The overall pattern is one of tiny, short-period windswell. The combined energy of all swells directed here stays very low, mostly in the teens and twenties (like 28 to 29), which is weak. A few afternoons around the 24th and 25th of July see a slight bump to 138 and 36, but even then the wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87°, which is a pretty big anomaly.
Friday, July 24th, has the most size we’ll see—3ft from the SSE, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is a cross-onshore moderate breeze, making it choppy. Not worth getting excited about. Saturday morning, July 25th, offers a clean look with a cross-offshore wind from the SW, but the swell is a mere 1ft from the ESE. It’s glassy on Sunday morning, July 26th, and again on Monday morning, July 27th, but the swell is only 1.0ft and 1ft respectively. You’d be fighting for knee-high slop.
The best chance for anything remotely useable comes on Thursday, July 30th, in the morning. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, giving us clean conditions. The swell is 2ft from the SE with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 53. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best of the bunch, but it’s still pretty average.
The rest of the window into August is more of the same: tiny swell, often blown out or cross-onshore. There are a few clean mornings here and there, like on August 4th (Tuesday morning) with glassy conditions, but the swell is only 2ft from the SE. You’d be scratching for a bump.
The crowds at Tybee Pier can be an issue at times, but with this forecast, it’ll be quiet. Honestly, this setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. For a long stretch of days, there’s just nothing to recommend.
Stay patient, folks. The forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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.
