The Lowdown
Alright everyone, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
If you’re thinking about a paddle at Tybee Pier, you’re going to be waiting a long time. The outlook is flat and pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions with barely any energy at all. The combined swell energy is weak, with readings mostly between 13 and 91, which is next to nothing. The water temperature is about what you’d expect for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t happen until Wednesday, July 29th, in the afternoon. Even then, it’s barely a wave. We’re looking at a tiny 3ft swell from the SSW, with a short period of 5 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the WSW, keeping things clean, but the waves are ordinary. The real standout, if you can call it that, comes on Tuesday, August 4th, in the morning. The wind is glassy – dead calm from the SE – and the swell lifts a little to 3ft from the SSE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 142, which is still weak but it’s the best we’ll see. The waves are surfable but very ordinary. It’s the only window where you might get a clean, small wave to yourself, and crowds are only sometimes an issue, so it could be a quiet session.
That’s all she wrote. There’s a gap of several days of nothing before that Tuesday morning, and then it’s back to the same old story. For the rest of the forecast, it’s onshore breezes and choppy, messy water. Best leave the stick at home for now.
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.
