The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be honest with you, it’s a tough one for Tybee Pier. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat and ordinary. There’s a big gap of nothing worth paddling out for, so don’t get your hopes up.
The first sniff of any surf is a tiny pulse on Wednesday the 22nd, but it’s a dud. We’re looking at a weak 3ft swell from the SSE, but it’s a short-period, wind-swell mess with a period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is a meager 65, and with a 16 mph cross-on wind from the South, it’s just choppy and blown out. Not worth the wax.
The next morning, Thursday the 23rd, is the closest thing we have to a highlight, and I’m using that word loosely. The swell drops to 1ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 51. But here’s the silver lining: the wind goes glassy, dead calm, early with a SW breeze at 3 mph. The water temp is 87°, which is a whopping 5° warmer than normal – that’s a big anomaly for this time of year, so it’s really quite warm. It’ll be clean and small, but you’d be on a longboard or a foamie just enjoying the morning. Don’t expect anything with any push.
After that, it’s a long, bleak stretch. From Thursday afternoon right through to August 6th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the period is often short. The winds are a mess of cross-onshore and onshore, making it choppy or just flat. The combined energy numbers are mostly in the teens and twenties. There’s a little bump on August 3rd with a 3ft to 3ft SSE swell and energy hitting 98, but the wind is either cross or cross-on, so it’s not clean. It’s just not enough to get excited about.
For a beginner, anything over 5ft is too much, but we’re not even close to that. The lack of consistent swell and the poor wind patterns mean this is a real dry spell. It’s one of those periods where the forecast can change, but right now, it’s looking like a good time to wash the car or fix your dings.
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.
