The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's in store for the Tybee Pier stretch. I gotta be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking pretty flat and quiet. We've got a long gap with almost nothing worth paddling out for.
Right now, the water temperature is sitting at a warm 86°, which is about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That feels nice, but the waves just aren't cooperating.
Looking at the whole period, from now through to the end of August, the surf is tiny. From Wednesday the 12th right through to about Wednesday the 19th, wave heights are barely a ripple, between 0.7ft and 2ft. The energy in the water is low, with combined swell energy readings mostly in the single digits or low double digits (9 to 71). The wind is often cross-onshore or choppy, so even the small stuff is messy. There's honestly nothing to recommend for a surf during that first week.
We finally see a slight glimmer of hope on Thursday morning the 20th. We get a glassy morning at Tybee Pier with a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is still weak at 88, and it's barely surfable. That's the best we get for a while, but it's still a “poor” session.
From there, it's back to flatness until Tuesday morning the 25th of August. The morning shows a tiny 2ft south swell with a short 5-second period, giving energy of 48, with clean cross-offshore wind. It's surfable but very ordinary. And then on Wednesday morning the 26th, we get a bit of clean offshore wind from the west, with a 1ft SE swell at 9 seconds. The energy is 43. Again, it's surfable but nothing to write home about.
So the honest truth is, there's no true standout session here. The only real highlight would be that glassy Thursday morning on the 20th if you’re desperate, but don't expect much. For the rest, the best advice is to give the board a rest. The setup is too weak for proper surfing and the wind is often messy.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
