Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tybee Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you right off the bat – the next couple of weeks for Tybee Pier are looking pretty bleak for surfing. There’s just nothing happening for a long stretch, so let’s get through it.
The first real glimmer of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday, the 23rd of July, and even then, it's barely a whisper. That’s over a week of flat, poor conditions to wade through. From the 13th right through to the morning of the 23rd, every session is marked as poor. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7 ft to 1 ft, with weak energy (values like 26, 22, and even down to 7) and short, choppy periods. The winds are all over the place, but none of it is doing us any favors. It’s just a total write-off.
Then on Thursday morning, the 23rd, we finally get a pulse. A south swell pushes in at 2 ft with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 52, which is the best we've seen. The wind is coming from the WSW at 9 mph, giving us a clean, cross-offshore flow. It’s described as "surfable but very ordinary," and honestly, that’s the highlight of the whole outlook. It’s not going to be a world-class session, but for a spot that’s been dead, it’ll feel like a gift. That's your one and only standout.
After that, we slip right back into the doldrums. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th see the swell drop away again, with messy onshore winds and choppy conditions. The rest of the month just fades out with tiny fluff waves and poor wind. There’s a tiny pulse on the 27th and 28th, but it’s all onshore and weak.
So, the takeaway is brutal but simple: mark your calendar for Thursday morning the 23rd. That’s your one shot at something clean. Otherwise, save your wax and your energy. This run of flatness is pretty normal for the area when the stars don't align. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
