The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Tybee Pier.
Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days look pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special on the cards. The water is sitting at a warm 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll be nice to sit in, but you won’t be doing much surfing.
Right off the bat, from Friday the 7th of August, it’s a write-off. We’ve got stormy conditions, onshore winds, and tiny, weak waves. You’re looking at a combined swell energy of just 82 – that's near nothing. It’s a rough start.
Saturday the 8th morning is the first time we get anything close to a pulse. The swell picks up to a meager 4ft from the southeast, with a short 8-second period. The winds are cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the energy is still low at 294 (moderate). It’s a marginal call, and it doesn’t last. The afternoon drops right back down.
We then go into a real dead spell. From Saturday afternoon all the way through to Thursday the 13th, it’s tiny, choppy, or blown out. There are a few glassy mornings, like Sunday the 9th, but the swell is barely 2ft. You can’t do much with that.
The best of a bad bunch looks like Friday the 14th of August morning. We get a clean, offshore wind from the west at 9 mph, with 2ft swell from the south. The energy is still weak at 43, and the period is short at 5 seconds, but it’s the cleanest wave you’ll see all week. For a beginner at Tybee Pier, that’s about as good as it’s gonna get. If you’re desperate, that’s your window.
We get another similar window on Saturday the 15th morning with glassy conditions and a 2ft southeast swell, but again, it’s weak and ordinary. It’s the same story for the second week – a few clean mornings but nothing with any punch or consistency. The swell direction never really matches the optimum east direction you’d want here, so the waves are generally weak and crumbly.
Don’t get your hopes up. It’s a long gap of poor conditions with only a few very ordinary, surfable mornings for the absolute keeners. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a paddling week, not a surfing one.
