The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for any real sessions. The first decent recommendation doesn’t show up right away, and honestly, the whole 16‑day window is a struggle.
The first real chance to look at the water comes on Friday the 4th of September. Tybee Pier is dealing with weak, short‑period swell from the southeast – only 2 feet and a period around 6 seconds, so it’s small and a bit crumbly. The wind is cross‑onshore at 9 to 12 mph, making it choppy. Wave energy is low (46). This one is for beginners only, and even then, it’s sloppy.
Saturday the 5th of September starts with a glassy morning – wind dropping to 3 mph from the southwest – but the swell is tiny, just 2 feet from the southeast at a short 5 seconds. Energy is a paltry 21. It’s clean but so small you’d be struggling to stand up.
The rest of the week stays weak. By Sunday the 13th of September, we see a slight bump – swell up to 4 feet from the east, but period is short (5 seconds) and the wind is cross‑onshore at 16 mph. Energy reaches 112 (moderate), but the wind ruins any hope of quality. It’s choppy and messy. The afternoon on the 13th pushes 5 feet east swell, still 6 seconds and cross‑onshore, energy 112 – again, poor surf conditions.
Through the second week, swell is tiny – mostly 0.5 to 2 feet – and winds stay onshore or cross. The strongest day is Friday the 18th of September with a tiny 2 foot south swell at 4 seconds, cross‑onshore winds, energy only 26. Not worth the drive.
Water temp’s about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. If you’re desperate, the Saturday 5th morning glass is your cleanest window but the swell is so small it’s barely surfable. For everything else, you’re looking at poor quality. Better to wait for a better forecast or check other spots.
Stay patient,
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.

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.
