Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tybee Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Tybee Pier is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of mostly small, weak, and messy conditions. The first real glimmer of anything surfable doesn’t kick in until Tuesday, July 21st, so we’ve got a solid gap of over a week with no real recommendations to speak of.
The water is sitting at about 86°, which is a touch warmer than we usually see this time of year – a full 4° above the norm, so it’ll feel like a bath.
Alright, let’s get into it. The standout – and I use that term loosely – is the Tuesday morning session on July 21st. We’ve got a clean 4 ft swell rolling in from the south. That’s the biggest we’ll see, and with a light offshore breeze from the WNW, it’ll be clean. The energy is still weak, only 77 (combined energy of all swells directed here), so it’s not going to be a powerhouse, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The swell period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit choppy and lacking punch, but it’s surfable. This is a beginner-friendly break anyway, so if you’re just learning, that’s your window.
Wednesday morning, July 22nd, also has a clean 3 ft swell from the SSE with light offshore winds, but the energy is even lower at 55. It’s ordinary, but it’s clean.
The rest of the fortnight is a write-off. We’ve got days of tiny waves under 2 ft, cross-shore winds, and some stormy afternoons. The wind goes offshore a few times, like Thursday afternoon, July 16th, but the swell is just 1.0 ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds – not enough to push a sea gull around. Even the afternoon of Saturday, July 25th, which shows a 2 ft swell from the ESE with a period of 7 seconds and clean conditions, only scores a weak energy reading of 58. It’s fun for a splash, but that’s about it.
Bottom line: if you’re desperate, aim for the morning of Tuesday, July 21st. Otherwise, the board stays in the car.
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.
