The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on offer for us over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – the outlook for Tybee Pier is a pretty flat and messy one for the majority of the forecast period. There’s a real drought of quality waves, so we’re going to be waiting a long time for anything that’s even worth a paddle.
We’ve got a long stretch starting from now with nothing but poor conditions. The first couple of weeks are dominated by tiny, weak swells and a lot of cross-onshore wind that’s just chopping everything up. Monday the 23rd of September afternoon finally gives us a little glimpse of something rideable – the wind goes offshore from the west-northwest at 9 mph, and the swell is a small 2 ft from the east. The combined energy is still only moderate at 107, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’s clean. The water temperature is around 84° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The real standout, and the only one worth planning for, is Friday the 25th of September morning. It’s glassy – wind is calm – and we get a 4 ft swell from the east. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s windswell, not groundswell, but the combined energy is a moderate 95. It’s a clean, glassy morning and that’s the best we’re going to see. That’s the one to circle on the calendar, but don’t expect any power behind it.
Saturday the 26th of September morning also looks okay with a clean 4 ft from the east and light cross-offshore wind, but again, the period is short and the energy is moderate at 107. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Crowds at Tybee Pier can be an issue sometimes, especially if any hint of a wave shows up. For a break that’s exposed to the east and works best with an east swell, we just aren’t getting the right ingredients this time around.
After that, it drops right back off into tiny, choppy, or onshore slop through the end of the month. Honestly, for this stretch, the setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead.
Stay patient.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Tybee Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
