The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're looking at the Tybee Pier area, and honestly, the surf just isn't showing up for the next couple of weeks. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's got any energy.
We're looking at a long, dry spell ahead. From now through to the end of July and into August, it's all ankle-snappers. The combined energy is barely registering, with a reading of just 8 (weak energy) on the 28th, and it doesn't get much better. You'll see a tiny bump of 0.6ft from the ESE with a 9-second period on the morning of the 29th, but with a cross-offshore breeze, it's just a clean, flat lake. The wind is mostly coming from the south or southwest, keeping things cross or cross-off, but there's just no swell to work with.
The pattern finally tries to break on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning brings a brief pulse of 4ft from the SSE, with a 6-second period. The combined energy kicks up to 169 (moderate wave energy) and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SW. That's the best we've got, and it's still being called "poor surf conditions." The afternoon drops back to 3ft with a cross breeze, so that window is tight.
After that, it's back to the same old story. The morning of the 5th has a glassy, clean 1ft from the SE with a 7-second period, but it's just too small to get excited about. The 8th shows a 1ft wave with a clean offshore wind from the WNW, but again, it's tiny. The rest of the run is a mix of cross-onshore winds and tiny swell from the south or southeast, with combined energy values struggling to break 100.
The only true standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Monday, August 3rd at Tybee Pier. That 4ft swell from the SSE with clean cross-offshore wind is the best on offer. It's a poor-quality option, but it's the only one with any size. The rest of the window is a write-off for a proper paddle. For the next 16 days, the consistent theme is "poor surf conditions." It's a tough run, but that's the way it is sometimes. Keep the board waxed, the forecasts can change.
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.
