The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Tybee Pier over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this and it’s a tough one. There’s a real flat spell to start. The first few days through to the end of the week are just a write-off. We’re talking tiny, weak waves and messy conditions. The water is a warm 86.0°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s pleasant to sit in, but there’s nothing to ride.
The whole first week is a struggle. We finally get a little bump on the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July. The swell is a tiny 2.3ft from the SSE with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 60. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NW, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power. It’s not going to get the heart racing.
The next real chance comes on the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. The wind goes glassy, which is a massive positive. The swell is still small, 2.3ft from the S, and the period is a short 5 seconds, so the energy is still low at 48. It’s surfable and clean, but it’s not a standout. It’s the best of a bad bunch.
After that, the forecast dries up again. The second week into early August is a parade of small, weak swells. The wind is often clean and cross-offshore, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. The combined energy rarely gets into double digits. It’s a long, quiet patch.
So, the best on offer? If you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy morning of Saturday the 25th of July is your only real window for a clean, if tiny, wave. The rest of the 16 days is a washout. There’s absolutely nothing for beginners here after the first few days unless they want to practice floating. For the experts, there’s not a single wave over 3.6ft, so it’s a long wait.

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.
