Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are shaping up to be a real heartbreaker for surfers around Tybee Pier. We're looking at a long, flat, and frustrating stretch.

For the first few days, right through the weekend and into next week, it's just a mess. We’ve got tiny, weak swell from the south, mostly under 3 ft, with periods so short you can barely call it a wave. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-off but with enough strength to keep things messy. The water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal, but that’s about the only thing to get excited about. The combined energy of the swells is barely registering (27-51), making for some truly lifeless conditions.

We’ve got a gap of pretty much nothing until the 14th of July. That Tuesday morning offers a tiny glimmer – a 2 ft swell from the SE with a 9-second period and a light offshore wind from the west. The combined energy ticks up to (59), and it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Even then, the afternoon falls apart with a risk of t-storms and onshore wind.

The outlook from the 15th onward is just bleak. One morning of clean 1 ft surf, then we’re back to tiny, weak, and wind-affected waves. The last week of the period is dominated by a constant onshore breeze from the ENE, with a risk of thunderstorms and basically no swell to speak of. The combined energy values drop into the single digits (9-17), which is about as weak as it gets.

This is a long, blank run for the area. There’s nothing here to get excited about, no standout days. It’s a quiet time, so maybe focus on getting your gear sorted or finding a different hobby for a week or two.

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.
