The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the Tybee Pier stretch.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The water temp is sitting around 84°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath out there, but that’s about the only thing with any energy.
The whole 16-day window is basically a flat spell. We’ve got tiny swell the whole way through, with combined energy barely cracking 26 on the first Sunday morning, and it never gets anywhere near exciting. The biggest combined energy I see is 78 on Wednesday, 2nd September, but that’s still weak, and the swell is only 2ft from the ESE with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a bit of a long period for a beach break like Tybee Pier, so it’ll likely be too straight and not offer much shape. Winds are cross-onshore or onshore most of the time, so it’s messy.
There’s not a single standout in the whole run. The closest thing to a decent look is early on Friday, 4th September, when we get a glassy morning with a light SSE breeze. Swell is a tiny 2ft from the SE, period 8 seconds, and combined energy is just 33. It’ll be clean, but tiny. You might get a little knee-high ripple, but it’s not really surfable.
The rest of the window is just a long stretch of poor surf conditions. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and blown out. We see a few moments of cleaner conditions with cross-offshore winds on Sunday, 6th September, and Saturday, 12th September, but the swell is down to 1ft and 0.6ft by the end – barely a bump.
To be blunt, there’s nothing here worth paddling out for. If you’re a beginner, these tiny waves might be okay for a practice session on that glassy Friday morning, but it’s not going to be a proper ride. The whole period is a write-off for any decent surf. It happens here sometimes – a long blank run. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
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.
