The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got on offer for the next couple of weeks at Tybee Pier.
To be straight with you, it's a pretty quiet stretch overall. The first few days are flat with barely a ripple—not worth paddling out for. We're looking at a long gap of very ordinary or poor surf conditions that runs all the way through the end of August and into the start of September. There’s some weak energy around, but the waves are just too small and the wind messes things up most afternoons.
Things finally start to show a tiny pulse of life as we head into Wednesday the 2nd of September. The morning session at Tybee Pier offers the best chance you'll get in this whole outlook. We're looking at a clean wave with light cross-offshore winds from the WSW, and a small 0.4 ft swell coming from the southeast with a long period of 13 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, so the wave shape should be lined up nicely. The combined energy is still weak though (69). It’s nothing special—just surfable but very ordinary. Still, in this dry spell, it's your best bet.
The next little window pops up on Friday the 4th of September. Another early morning session, with glassy conditions and a light W wind. The swell size is similar at 0.5 ft from the ESE, with a 13-second period again. The combined wave energy is creeping up a bit (98), but it’s still not enough to get excited about. It's surfable but very ordinary.
Then we get into the second week. The Sunday the 6th of September morning has some cross-offshore wind and a bit more size—0.5 ft from the east, but the period has dropped to 11 seconds. The energy is moderate (101) for the first time, but the wave comment still calls it surfable but very ordinary. Monday the 7th of September morning offers a glassy session with a tiny 0.3 ft ESE swell—again, surfable but ordinary.
So, the standout is probably the Wednesday morning on the 2nd of September with that long-period groundswell and clean conditions. The other clear morning on the 4th of September is a close second. Don't expect any decent waves in the afternoons—the cross-onshore wind just kills it every time. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 86°F, which is nice for a paddle.
Overall, it's a lean run. The surf is tiny, the energy is low, and there are no real pumping days in sight. Keep your expectations low, and maybe focus on the clean, glassy windows early in the morning. Hopefully, the forecasts shift for the better.
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.
