The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk surf for Tybee Pier.
Right now, we’re looking at a pretty flat and quiet stretch ahead. The first real sign of anything surfable isn’t until Thursday morning, August 27th, and even then it’s just small. The overall pattern is weak for the next week and a half, with tiny swell and usually dodgy wind direction.
The only period that even gets close to something worth paddling for is around Wednesday morning, September 9th. We get a bit of a pulse of swell—combined wave energy around (109)—which is in the moderate range, and with a light WSW breeze making it clean. That’s a rare moment in this outlook. Swell is from the east at about 3ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and weak for a proper wave. Still, for Tybee right now, that’s the best you’re gonna get. Crowds are possible there—it can get busy when there’s anything rideable.
Most of the window is filled with days of sub-3ft surf and cross-onshore or onshore winds. The water temperature is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 86°, which is nice for summer sessions.
Honestly, the only proper window where the stars line up is just that Wednesday morning, September 9th. Expect some fun but not epic lines. The rest of the 16 days is mostly small and choppy, so pick your moments carefully.
Stay patient, Tybee.

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.
