The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are a real struggle for decent surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
Looking at the whole picture, there’s almost nothing to get excited about. The forecast is mostly flat and messy, with a few brief moments where it might be worth a splash for a beginner. The first real surfable window, and honestly the only standout, is a small window on Wednesday, July 29th into the afternoon.
For that Wednesday, Tybee Pier is your best bet. The morning starts with a light WSW breeze keeping things cross-off and clean. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the SSW, but with a short period of 5 seconds, it’s not going to have any punch. The combined energy is a weak 28, so it’s really just something to get wet on. By the afternoon, the wind swings lighter and the swell picks up a touch to 3 ft from the south, still with that short 5-second period and a combined energy of 48. The light breeze and cross-off wind will keep the surface clean. It’s small, it’s weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. Don’t expect any power, just a few little dribblers.
After that, the outlook dives back into the gutter. Thursday the 30th through the whole first week of August is a mix of cross-onshore winds, tiny swell under 3 ft, and very poor surf conditions. There’s a lot of days with combined energy in the teens and single digits – that’s just flat out. The water temperature here is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
The second week is no better. From August 5th onwards, it’s the same story: tiny, short-period wind swell, persistent onshore or cross-shore winds, and a lot of days with combined energy barely reaching 30. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Tuesday, August 11th where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is still a pathetic 2 ft from the south with a 4-second period and combined energy of only 18. It’ll be a flat, glassy lake. Not even worth the walk.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a write-off. The consistent poor surf quality and lack of any significant swell means this is a pretty normal blank run for this area. If you’re desperate, go for a swim.
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.
