The Lowdown
Alright, listen up, y’all. Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. Tybee Pier is looking like a ghost town for the next two weeks. We’ve got a big ol’ gap of nothing before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
From Thursday the 10th all the way through to the 21st of September, it’s flat and grim. Tiny waves, mostly onshore or cross-shore wind, and scores that are just plain bad. You’d be better off going for a swim. There’s a brief moment of glass on the 14th (Monday morning), but the swell is only 1ft, so it’s barely a ripple.
The game finally changes on Tuesday the 22nd of September. Morning brings a 5ft east swell (8 seconds) with a fresh offshore wind (N at 22 mph). The energy is solid at 331 (moderate), but the short period means it’ll be a bit jumbled. The afternoon gets to 6ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, making it lumpy.
Wednesday the 23rd is better. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore wind, but it’s still only 5ft. The real winner is Wednesday afternoon. The wind goes dead calm, glassy, and the swell hits 6ft from the east (8 seconds). The energy is 472 (moderate). It’s not perfect, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see all run.
The one to circle, though, is Thursday the 24th of September. We’re looking at a 7ft east swell (10 seconds) with a clean offshore wind from the NW at 6 mph. The energy is a massive 1642 (strong to very strong). This is a proper groundswell, and it’s only for the experts. The long period will make it walled up and powerful, but at a beach break, it might be a little too straight. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°.
So, if you’re a seasoned pro, Thursday the 24th morning is your shot. After that, it’s back to tiny, onshore junk. Everyone else, keep your board in the car.
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. 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.
